About RoboNexus
RoboNexus is a bold, annual student-led mission designed to propel robotics and its influence across education, industry, and innovation in the region. It's where students, researchers, and companies converge to collaborate, compete, and create.
RoboNexus Sectors
RoboNexus is structured around four core sectors that represent the main application themes of robotics we aim to showcase at the event. These sectors help organize the experience so audiences can explore robotics through real-world contexts, and partners can align their participation with the domains most relevant to their work. Together, they cover a balanced spectrum of future-facing technologies, national priorities, and practical use-cases across multiple fields
RoboNexus Zones
Five distinct zones create the complete RoboNexus experience. From high-stakes competition to hands-on learning, each zone offers unique opportunities to engage with robotics innovation.
