Inaugural humanoid robot Olympics to be held in ancient Olympia

·

From August 29 to September 2, Ancient Olympia will host the world’s first International Humanoid Robot Olympics—an event blending history and innovation, according to interestingengineering.com and insider.gr. Taking place at the International Olympic Academy, the competition will feature humanoid robots performing Olympic-style challenges like sprints, jumps, and javelin throws, showcasing their agility and intelligence.

Organized by U.S.-based robotics startup Acumino, co-founded by Minos Liarakapis, in collaboration with Endeavor Greece, the event invites visitors to explore the future of robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) through interactive exhibitions, expert talks, and hands-on workshops.

Attendees will engage directly with state-of-the-art humanoid robots, learning how AI enables them to move, adapt, and solve real-world problems. Leaders in robotics and AI will share insights on the future of human-machine collaboration, ethical technology, and Physical AI—AI that operates in the physical world through perception, action, and autonomous decision-making.

The program includes special activities for younger audiences, such as guided workshops where children and students can build their own robots—no prior experience required.

More than just a competition, the Humanoid Robot Olympics is a symbolic event. It bridges ancient values with futuristic ambition, highlighting how human creativity and robotic intelligence can work together to shape a better tomorrow. As Interesting Engineering noted, this rare blend of tradition and technology aims to inspire all generations and celebrate innovation at the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
