Indian Robotics Olympiad 2025 Theme
The theme for IRO 2025 is "Lake Conservation"
In IRO 2025, students will embark on an exploration of the diverse challenges encountered in lake conservation and discover the myriad ways in which robotics can offer solutions. Can robots help monitor water quality and detect pollution to keep lakes clean? Can robots remove invasive plants and waste from lakes, helping to restore the natural ecosystem? Can robots assist in tracking and protecting aquatic life, ensuring a balanced and thriving habitat?
IRO 2025 Challenge Mats
ROBO Adventures - Explorers (Ages 5 - 7)
Kubo the LakeBot has taken on the mission of conserving lakes, and he needs your help with various environmental tasks. Let's assist Kubo in his journey by tree planting, island drop, playzone ferry and lake cleanup.
ROBO Adventures - Innovators (Ages 7 - 10)
Your mission is to design, build, and program a robot to collect and remove plastic waste from designated lake zones, clear invasive water hyacinths to improve water flow, and transport tree saplings to specific replantation areas. Additionally, the robot must assist fishermen by safely transporting fish to an island.
ROBO Adventures - Techies (Ages 10 - 15)
Your mission is to design, build, and program a robot to detect and segregate wet and dry waste, and clear invasive trees that harm the ecosystem. Additionally, the robot should harvest water hyacinths and transport them to a composting station for eco-friendly disposal. To support local fishermen, the robot must also safely transport fish to an island.
