ROBOTICA 2025 - 24th Portuguese Robotics Open

https://www.festivalnacionalrobotica.pt/2025/

April 04 to 06, 2025 Madeira Island, Portugal

The Portuguese Robotics Open is a RoboCup Event that aims at promoting Science and Technology among students from the 1st grade to university studies, as well among the general public, through robotic competitions.

We would like to invite you to participate in the 24th Portuguese Robotics Open which will take place from April 04 to 06, 2025, At Madeira Island, Portugal. If you are interested in participating, please register your team in one of the promoted competitions.

== 3D SIMULATION LEAGUE ==

Robot scientific competitions are a growing trend worldwide and particularly at the European level in the past few years. The 3D SIMULATION LEAGUE provides a great opportunity to experiment with humanoid robots without the need for investing in robot hardware. It facilitates experimenting using different learning and optimization techniques by providing a simulated environment. Since the games are played with teams of 11 players, the league is also a very good environment for experimenting on multi-robot coordination methodologies.

--------- The official rules of this League for the 2025 edition, can be found at: https://ssim.robocup.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Rules_RoboCupSim3D2024.p... ---------

--------- Important resources for the 3D Simulation League, including mailing lists, an installation guide for the server and 3D viewer, team binaries, source-code releases, game replays and other documents can be found at: https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-tools/ ---------

== Description and History ==

The Portuguese Robotics Open (also known as Festival Nacional de Robótica) had its 1st edition in 2001. The event has had an enormous growth since the 1st edition, both in the number of teams, participants and visitors and also includes an international IEEE conference where national and international researchers present their latest work in the field of Robotics (https://www.icarsc.pt/2025/).

The Portuguese Robotics Open is currently an initiative of the Portuguese Robotics Society.

Hoping to see you at the Portuguese Robotics Open!

Kind Regards, The Portuguese Robotics Open Organizing Committee
