The grand final includes 145 teams representing 20 regions of Azerbaijan and 12 international teams from 8 neighbouring countries.
During the two-day event, participants will compete in robot football, drone technologies, AI, autonomous systems, engineering projects and innovative technology solutions. Teams will demonstrate creativity, teamwork and problem-solving alongside their technical skills.
Innovative competition themes
In the WRCC 2026 Open Category, participants will present innovative solutions for agricultural digitalisation, safety and mine clearance in Karabakh, and problems caused by the declining water level of the Caspian Sea.
Technology exhibitions and panel discussions will accompany the competition. The aim is to encourage interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), develop future engineers and strengthen Azerbaijan’s role in the international robotics ecosystem.
World Robot Caspian Cup 2026 is an important platform demonstrating Azerbaijan’s regional leadership in technology and innovation, preparing young people for future careers and strengthening the country’s position on the international robotics map.
