Abstract

The paper presents the development of the World Robot OlympiadTM (WROTM) in Romania, highlighting the steps and the progress of the competition. The WROTM is an international event dedicated to science, technology and education, which brings together young people from all over the world, in order to design, construct and program educational robots. The competition started in 2012, when a team of professors from Mechatronics program of study, offered by the Manufacturing Engineering Department – Faculty of Engineering, “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galaţi, organised in Galaţi the first regional pilot competition - RobotiCompetition 2012.
