Robots battle, sumo wrestle and even play football at Campus Party

You robots dominate most of the space Campus Party Brazil 2024 . Battling each other, playing hockey, sumo wrestling and even playing football, you can see robots of all shapes and sizes showing off at the event.

A Robocore Experience is present at Campus Party in its 3rd edition, with the aim of bringing the universe of robots closer to students and enthusiasts present at the event.

You can play a game of hockey controlling the robots, pilot a tracked robot through a circuit with obstacles, ramps and irregular circuits and even attend workshops with basic notions of robotics.

It is also possible to follow robots playing football trying to hit the ball into the goal on a field just over a meter wide.

In addition, of course, to watching different teams pit their robots against each other — with sumo wrestling matches, fights in small arenas and fights in the largest arena in Brazil, with robots weighing up to 27 kg competing.

But robotics isn’t all about battles. The Artbot category features robots that seek to interact with visitors, such as Ozzy Osbourne, a friendly skull that responds to your movements, and Mr. Mime, a hand that is able to imitate other people’s gestures.

“The idea is to show that not every robot needs to fight, that it is possible to have robots that interact with people in a fun way,” said the team from the collective O Projeto, responsible for both creations.
