Kwangwoon University will host the Robofest 2027 World Championship from May 28-31 next year, the university announced on Friday. The decision to host the event came after Kwangwoon University signed a memorandum of agreement with Lawrence Technological University in the United States, the creator and organizer of Robofest. The university anticipates that the competition will draw robotics specialists and gifted students from all corners of the globe.
Since its inception in 1999, the Robofest World Championship has been exclusively held in the United States. However, the 2027 championship will mark a significant milestone as it will be the first time the event is held outside the country in its 28-year history. The Seoul competition is projected to be a pivotal moment as Robofest seeks to extend its influence beyond the U.S. and establish itself on a global stage.
The hosting of Robofest 2027 in Seoul presents an excellent opportunity to showcase Korea's prowess in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) education to an international audience. According to Yoon Do-young, the president of Kwangwoon University, "May 2027 will mark the beginning of a new chapter in Robofest's 28-year history."
