24 Jul '25

Dear RoboCup Rescue Teams, On behalf of the entire RoboCup Rescue community, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to each of you for your dedication, passion, and pursuit of innovation during RoboCup 2025. Your hard work, creativity, and collaborative spirit are at the very heart of this league’s mission: advancing technologies that can one day save lives in real-world disaster scenarios. Every challenge you tackled, every obstacle you turned into an opportunity, and every moment of teamwork you displayed—these are the building blocks of a future where robots and humans work side by side in times of crisis. RoboCup Rescue is more than a competition. It is a global effort to push the boundaries of what is possible in autonomous systems, resilience, and human-robot interaction under realistic and complex conditions. The progress we have witnessed this year is a testament to your tireless efforts, your technical excellence, and—most importantly—your commitment to making a difference in the world. Thank you for being an essential part of this journey. You are not just competitors; you are pioneers, innovators, and a global family united by a shared vision of technology in service of humanity. We look forward to seeing how far you’ll take us next year.
