What kind of robots do we expect?
The ATEC 2026 competition aims to advance the development of robots capable of operating effectively in real-world environments. The competition structure progresses from online simulations to offline validation and culminates in a final challenge in an open, dynamic, and unstructured outdoor setting. Key evaluation criteria focus on a robot's continuous task execution, long-term stability, and overall system synergy, specifically testing their abilities in locomotion, manipulation, and environmental interaction.
