Blueprint for the Future of Humanoid Robotics
The world's first challenge where humanoid robots compete head-to-head across real industry verticals — no simulations, no shortcuts. Organised by the Humanoid Robotics Association Switzerland.
Competition Verticals
Five industries.
One challenge.
Healthcare & Assistance
Home-Care Decathlon
Robots assist elderly individuals with daily living activities — medication delivery, mobility support, and emergency response — inside a simulated home environment.
Retail & Customer Service
Pop-Up Store Sprint
Deploy a fully operational retail pop-up: stock shelves, guide customers, process payments, and handle real-time inventory — all within a timed sprint.
Warehouse & Logistics
Hybrid Fulfilment Relay
Navigate a dynamic warehouse environment — pick, sort, and pack mixed-weight parcels under a live order queue with human co-workers present.
Industrial Inspection
Resilience Challenge
Traverse complex industrial sites, identify structural anomalies, and report findings in real time. Robots are scored on accuracy, speed, and terrain adaptability.
Education & Social
Classroom Co-Tutor Cup
Lead an interactive learning session for a diverse group of students, adapting to questions, managing classroom dynamics, and explaining complex concepts clearly.
Future Vertical
Coming Soon
A sixth competition vertical will be unveiled as the challenge approaches. Follow us for announcements — the next frontier of humanoid robotics is being written now.
Why Compete
Built for robots
that work
HRWC is not an academic showcase. Every challenge is drawn from real commercial deployments. Your robot must handle real environments, real objects, and real time pressure.
The Event
Where the world watches robots perform
