The final stage of the international "Robot Battle" championship took place in Moscow. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko attended the opening ceremony. Thirty-two teams from Russia, India, China, Tunisia, Brazil, and Iran advanced to the finals. "Robot Battle" has been held annually since 2023 with the support of the Russian government.
The goal of the "Battle of Robots" championship is to popularize engineering professions in Russia, support modern digital technologies, and train future specialists in this field and develop their practical skills.
"The Robot Battle is a unique platform where engineers and programmers can showcase not only their skills but also their creativity. Here, they have the opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into practice and bring their innovative ideas to life. Such events help develop engaged professionals and give them the opportunity to realize their talents at such a young age. The government actively supports young people's interest in robotics and digital technologies, because it is their hands that will shape the future digital economy and Russian technologies," said Dmitry Grigorenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister also noted that the "Battle of Robots" is growing in scale each year, and its geographic reach is expanding, reflecting growing interest in robotics among young people. More than 450 people participated in the third season of the championship: 112 teams from eight countries (Russia, Belarus, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Tunisia, China, and Brazil). This is almost double the number of participants in the first season in 2023 (267).
The event attracts not only the participants who create robots for the competition but also spectators. Over the past three years, live broadcasts of the "Robot Battle" have been watched by over 62 million people, and over 56,000 people have attended the championship stages in person (excluding the results of the final stage of the 2025 season).
The "Robot Battle" is open to schoolchildren and students, as well as private hobbyists and company representatives. The competition is held in two categories: "Robot Battle" (up to 110 kg) – for participants of all ages; and "Mini-Robot Battle" (up to 1.5 kg) – for participants aged 10–17.
A key feature of the championship is its active engagement with IT companies. The most promising participants of the "Battle of the Robots" are sent to robotics internships: in 2025, 10 internship agreements have already been signed with leading Russian IT companies. Thus, the championship serves as a bridge between young professionals and the industry: participants not only have the opportunity to demonstrate their engineering skills but also the chance to transition to real-world professional practice and meet future employers. Thirty participants have already passed the preliminary selection and are ready for internships, and two more have received offers and have begun their internships.
The final stage of the 2025 Robot Battle Championship was held under the coordination of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media and with the support of the Moscow government.
