The project involves engineers, scientists, students and inventors from all over the world. Robotics experts will show how technology can help people and develop the economy.
One of the main parts of the program will be practical classes. Under the guidance of specialists, children and teenagers will be able to assemble their own robots. No special training is required to participate.
The organizers emphasize that the Olympics are not only a competition, but also a way to think about the future. According to the organizers, what the future will be like depends on how people use technology.
