Kwangwoon University has announced it will host the 2027 Robofest World Championship, one of the world's premier robotics competitions, at its Seoul campus from May 28-31. The decision to host the event came after Kwangwoon University signed a memorandum of agreement with Lawrence Technological University in the United States, which operates Robofest.
The university is now gearing up for the event, which is expected to attract robotics experts and exceptional students from across the globe. Since its inception in 1999, the Robofest World Championship has been held exclusively in the U.S., but the 2027 edition will mark the first time it will be hosted outside the country. This will be a significant milestone as Robofest seeks to expand its reach beyond the U.S. and establish itself as a prominent global platform.
The competition in Seoul is also anticipated to showcase Korea's prowess in robotics and AI education to an international audience. "May 2027 will mark the beginning of a new chapter in Robofest's 28-year history," stated Yoon Do-young, president of Kwangwoon University.
