We are thrilled to announce that UTBots has officially qualified for the RoboCup 2025 World Championship! This is the largest robotics competition in the world, bringing together top teams and groundbreaking innovations in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems from all over America, Europe and Asia.
Representing Brazil on the Global Stage
This year, we will proudly represent UTFPR, Paraná, and Brazil in the RoboCup@Home league, where service robots compete to perform complex domestic tasks. Even more exciting—this edition of the competition will take place in Salvador, Bahia, making this achievement even more special for our team!
A Journey of Research, Dedication, and Innovation
Our qualification is the result of years of research, development, and teamwork. Every component of our robot, HESTIA, from its mechanical design to its software and AI systems, is the product of countless hours of dedication from our team members. As David Segalle, a Computer Engineering student and UTBots member, puts it:
“It’s an immense source of pride because every detail of the robot—its mechanics, hardware, and software—carries the hard work and passion of each of us. We all contributed to something, and everyone played a crucial role in getting us here.”
The Challenge Ahead – We Need Your Support!
Now, we face our next big challenge: securing the resources to take our team to Salvador. Competing at the RoboCup World Championship is a unique opportunity to showcase Brazilian innovation on a global stage, but we need partners and sponsors to make it happen.
Join Us in Driving Innovation Forward!
If you or your company are passionate about technology, AI, and robotics, and want to support the future of Brazilian innovation, we would love to connect with you! Your sponsorship will help us enhance our robots, cover travel expenses, and ensure our team can represent Brazil at the highest level of competition.
