President of the European Commission, 

Mrs. Dr. Ursula von der Leyen 

Dear children and young people, 

dear WRO Community, 

Ladies and Gentlemen, 

The theme of this year’s World Robot Olympiad, ‘My Robot My Friend’, 

addresses issues that could hardly be more topical. 

I say this because robots are set to play an increasingly important role in our everyday 

professional and private lives. That is why we at the European Commission are also working 

on innovation and research in the field of robotics as part of our digital strategy. There are 

ethical issues at stake here too. We are determined to shape the digital transition to fit our 

values. Because, for all our enthusiasm for innovation and the latest technology, we must 

never lose sight of those who are meant to benefit from our inventions – real people. At the 

end of the day, our focus in Europe is always on people, their rights and their needs. 

I am therefore delighted that this year’s international final of the World Robot Olympiad is 

being held in Germany. And there can hardly be a more suitable host city than Dortmund, 

which has just been designated ‘European Capital of Innovation’. 

However, your robot competitions, and especially the international final, are not just about 

who has the most creative ideas and the biggest talent. What is more important is what you 

take away from this wonderful event for your own lives. I therefore encourage you while in 

Dortmund to talk to as many other children and young people from as many countries as 

possible, to share your ideas on robotics and at the same time learn something about other 

cultures and far-off countries. 

I wish you every success and lots of fun at the international final in November and I take this 

opportunity to thank all the organisers, sponsors and supporters for making this event possible 

in these challenging times. 

Dr. Ursula von der Leyen 

President of the European Commission 


Message from the Minister 

Mona Neubaur 

My dear Robot Olympians 

Distinguished guests 

Going forward, it will be hard to imagine our lives without robots and smart 

systems, both at home and at work. So, it is a big bonus to be able to understand how such 

a robot works. With that in mind, the teams at this year‘s World Robot Olympiad have been 

working on a number of tasks themed ‘My Robot My Friend’. A motto which describes nicely 

where and what we would like AI to be: at our side, for the benefit of all people. 

North Rhine-Westphalia has a lot to offer to AI and robot enthusiasts. We are keen to see 

robots and other smart systems in a good place to help deal with the big challenges of our 

times. That means developing innovative solutions, especially when it comes to the quest 

for sustainability and climate-neutrality within the confines of our planet. At our universities 

and research institutions and across the business community in North Rhine-Westphalia, 

bright minds are working on precisely these solutions. And there is always room for more 

bright minds. 

So if the competitions of the World Robot Olympiad can get you excited about technology 

and science, you are on track for captivating opportunities. And since the STEM sector is so 

crucial to our future, I very much hope that the enthusiasm will keep. Because it is for you, 

the young with an affinity for technology, to build the future. 

I am very much looking forward to the creative solutions that will be presented at the World 

Final in Dortmund. To all participants and enablers as well as to national and international 

guests, a very warm welcome to North Rhine-Westphalia. Let me also thank all the partners 

from the political, business and wider communities, and of course the organisers and numerous 

volunteers. 

We wish you every success, and please enjoy the event

Mayor – City of Dortmund, 

Thomas Westphal 

Welcome to Dortmund for the grand final of the World Robot Olympiad! 

I am pleased to welcome you as a participant and visitor of the WRO in Dortmund 

– the City of Neighbours. 

Young talented people from over 60 nations are competing in Dortmund in 

the field of robotics which takes place under the motto “My robot, my friend”. 

Dortmund is one of the largest, innovative science and technology cities in Germany and 

was awarded with the „iCapital Award - European Capital of Innovation“ in 2021. Dortmund 

received this prestigous award due to its success as a science city involving urban society 

and its vision of the City of Neighbours. 

Therefore, Dortmund is a good choice of location for the final. In addition to Dortmunds 

hospitality, we have a lively start-up scene, strong research expertise, experience in developing 

customised software, hardware and in conducting research into artificial intelligence. 

All the best to each and every participant. I hope you will remember Dortmund as an exciting 

and vibrant city where you were able to form new friendships. 

With best regards 

Thomas Westphal 

Mayor – City of Dortmund 


Chairman of the WRO Advisory Council, 

Mr. Brent Hutcheson 

Dear All 

I’m sure you are as excited as we are to be back to a face-2-face international 

robotics event. To those of you who may have been lucky enough to 

attend before – welcome back. To all of those who are attending for the very 

first time – congratulations on your selection to represent your country. 

It is already a remarkable achievement to have made it this far – over 15,000 teams have been working 

in around 85 countries to achieve this. Continue to do your best, but don’t only focus on winning. This 

international event offers you so many more learning opportunities. But you must be open to them 

in order to gain as much as possible from them. Share your knowledge and your experiences, talk to 

other teams, other competitors. Be considerate to those who reach out to you. Build friendships – they 

may last much longer than you initially thought. Take part in all the activities – don’t use your precious 

time only working on your models and programs. The real winners are those who walk away with 

positive memories, newly formed friendships and a gratitude for those who made their involvement 

possible – parents, coaches, sponsors, judges and national organizers – not only those who walk away 

with trophies. 

The past 2 years have had a very negative impact on so much and in so many countries. It has highlighted 

the urgent need to pay more attention to the sustainable development goals, to promote thinking 

and ideas that lead to solutions. You are all part of the solutions we need. We need your active participation. 

We need your energy and passion. We need your voices to drive the change that needs to 

happen. Continue to work hard on solutions – very soon some of these may change the world forever. 

The competition format has seen several changes – we hope you like them. Change is not always easy – 

but it is essential if we hope to thrive in the future. Let us know what you really like and what you’d still 

like to see changed going forward. You are our future, and we want to hear your voices. 

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the German government, the city of Dortmund, the 

German National Organizer TECHNIK BEGEISTERT and all the other German partners and sponsors for 

hosting us and making this WRO International Final possible. We trust you’ll have a wonderful event 

this year. 

Mr. Brent Hutcheson 

Chairman of the WRO Advisory Council

and the WRO Community in Germany 

Dear WRO-Community, 

Dear participants, 

Dear Guests, 

Our association has been working for over 6 years to bring the World Robot Olympiad 

International Final to Germany. The first idea dates back to 2016 and has been developing 

steadily since then. Now the time has finally come and we can welcome teams from over 65 

countries to the International Final in Dortmund. 

In Germany we have a very strong WRO community with more than 500 volunteers which 

makes it possible to host the WRO throughout the whole country every year. Together we 

organize up to 40 regional competitions each year and have reached over 770 teams at our 

peak. This results in over 2,000 children and youth. In addition, there is a National Final with 

the 100 best teams from the entire country. This community is ready to host the International 

Final 2022 and has already invested countless hours in preparation. 

Due to the great support from companies, civil society and politics we have made this event 

possible. We are particularly grateful that these partners have remained involved despite 

the Corona pandemic and approved the postponement to 2022. 

We are thrilled that you are here now and that the World Robot Olympiad International 

Final 2022 is finally taking shape. Enjoy the three days of competition in Dortmund and get 

caught up in the robotics thrill. 

We wish you incredible fun and great success at the competition.

German Partners 

Hosting a WRO World Final is a big project and for a non-profit 

organisation it requires the help of many partners. Therefore we are 

very pleased to have the support of various partners from business, 

civil society and politics. A big thank you also goes out to the city of 

Dortmund and the Messe Dortmund as venue and important partner 

of our project. 

All partners support our motivation to host the International Final in 

Germany and, in the process, to get even more children and young 

people excited about technology. That‘s why the International Final 

will also feature a MINT side activity program for schools in Germany. 

In addition, we have been working to establish more WRO regional 

tournaments and to help schools getting started with robotics over 

the last few years. 

During the Covid-19 pandemic, we faced the challenge of having to 

postpone the International Final for a year. It‘s great that all partners 

stayed on board - that is not self-evident and shows their commitment. 

We would like to thank all our partners that support the International 

Final 2022 in Germany!

WRO in Germany 

750+ TEAMS, 40+ REGIONAL EVENTS, 500+ VOLUNTEERS 

World Robot Olympiad in Germany has a long history. The first competitions 

started in 2009, and since 2012 the WRO in Germany has been 

coordinated by our non-profit organization TECHNIK BEGEISTERT. 

Since then, we have expanded the competition from 32 teams in 2012 

to over 760 teams in 2019. 

In the process, we have grown continuously, on the one hand offering 

additional age groups or competition categories and on the other 

establishing local competitions in new regions in Germany. Now, we 

have regional WRO competitions in 40 cities (you can see on the map) 

and a major German final in a different city every year. 

The WRO community in Germany consists of a large 

community of partners and volunteers who work year 

after year to get children and young people excited 

about technology. Hosting the World Final in Germany 

is a highlight for all of us and we look forward to 

welcoming you all to Germany. 


WHY THE WRO INTERNATIONAL 

FINAL IN DORTMUND? 

We have a long cooperation with the city of Dortmund. Dortmund was 

the venue for the first three German finals in 2013, 2014 and 2015, 

and from the very beginning there was support from politicians and 

other players in the city. Together with the city owned Dortmund Talent 

Initiative, we won the Google RISE Partnership Award in 2014 and 

supported schools in Dortmund and established a robotics network of 

schools. 

Being in Dortmund with the International Final fits well with our WRO 

history in Germany. Together with our partners from politics, companies, 

foundations and society we want to make the first WRO International 

Final after Covid-19 a wonderful experience for everyone.

NATIONAL ORGANIZER 

TECHNIK BEGEISTERT 

TECHNIK BEGEISTERT (in English: Technics inspires) is a non-profit 

organization that was founded in 2011 by young adults with the motivation 

to pass on their own enthusiasm for robot competitions to other 

children and young people. We have built up the WRO competitions 

in Germany with a lot of commitment, energy and passion. 

Our vision 

We know from our own experience how valuable the experience of 

robotics competitions can be. You learn how to build and programme 

a robot, how to work in a team, how to work under time pressure, you 

can travel to other cities/countries for competitions and make new 

friends in the process. The core objectives of our organization can be 

summarized as: 

• We want to introduce children and young people to technology 

• We want to make robotics competitions available for more people 

• We want to promote the next generation of STEM students in 

Germany 

• We want to pass on our own enthusiasm and experience 


Our activities 

Currently, we have 60 members and work with 40 partners and 500 

volunteers throughout Germany. Organizing WRO is the biggest 

project. In addition to the WRO activities, we are involved in various 

robotics topics, here is a selection of other activities: 

• Helping schools in setting up robotics activities 

• Doing workshops or trainings, mainly with teachers 

• Develop other robotic concepts or learning materials 

• Help as judges at other events / competitions

World Robot Olympiad 2022 - Theme 

The theme of the 2022 WRO season is: My Robot My Friend! 

Robots are becoming increasingly important in a wide variety of areas 

of life. While they have long been indispensable in the automation of 

industrial production, they are also gradually conquering our everyday 

lives. Robots can now be found in many households, taking over 

the vacuuming of the apartment, for example. The 2022 season will 

explore areas of life in which robots will play a more important role in 

the future and act as companions or friends to people. 


Future Innovators 

Robotics and artificial intelligence are becoming an increasingly 

important part of current research and science. Continuous progress 

in the field of robotics enables new robots to act in a better way in the 

environment of humans. The combination of robotics and artificial 

intelligence can change the world and especially the environment of 

humans. 

Some people see dangers rather than opportunities in direct human 

contact with robots in the daily environment. The challenges of the 

future will be to seize the opportunities and to make robot-human 

interaction helpful and safe. 

Service robots are already performing partially or fully automated services. 

They help people in difficult environments or with monotonous 

or dangerous tasks. As supporters and friends, robots take on a wide 

range of tasks to relieve people of time-consuming tasks and mental 

strain and to increase human comfort. 

However, development is far from complete. What other tasks can 

robots take on in the future? How can it be ensured that robots act as 

helpers in your daily life? 

We need your idea for your robot friend! 

Your robot mission 

Teams have the task to develop a robot model which represents the 

robot as a friend and helper in one of the following topics: 

Robots at Home 

Robots in Rescue 

Robots in Healthcare 


21

Future Engineers 

The self-driving car challenge in this season is a Time Attack race: 

there will not be multiple cars at the same time on the track. Instead, 

one car per attempt will try to achieve the best time by driving several 

laps fully autonomously. The traffic signs indicate the side of the lane 

the vehicle has to follow. 

In order to perform the race, the car must drive three laps. The vehicle 

is not allowed to move or knock down the traffic signs. 

RoboSports 

In the RoboSports category teams design robots that compete with 

robots of another team in direct matches. In a match two teams each 

have 2 robots on the field. The game is called “Double Tennis”. Each 

team tries to place as many balls in the opposite half of the game field. 

In addition to the normal programming and building challenges teams 

can use cameras to detect balls and learn about image recognition. 


RoboMission 

In RoboMission teams build and program a robot that solve challenges 

on a competition field. The robots are fully autonomous and cannot be 

remote controlled. Each age group has a different topic and field.

The Garden Robot 

Junior 

The Rescure Robot

STEM Side Activities 

At the International Final of the WRO, the thrill of robotics is in the 

foreground. However, the STEM subject goes far beyond robotics and 

deals with other subject areas such as mathematics, biology or chemistry. 

At the International Final, we don‘t just want to reach robotics 

nerds, but to attract many visitors and get them excited about robotics 

and WRO as well. 

We therefore decided to offer a broad STEM program to make the 

visit to the event as attractive as possible. In doing so, we were able to 

attract partners from different areas of the STEM spectrum to present 

their projects and ideas. 

The STEM program consists of four components: 

• STEM exhibition with hands-on activities 

• Lecture program on the topic of technology and robotics 

• Workshop program to gather and share experiences 

• Guided tours of the event 

The entire STEM program is primarily aimed at German-speaking visitors 

to the event and is mainly in German. You can check out the STEM 

exhibition in Entry North. For that reason the schedule for lectures, 

workshops and tours is not included.

Welcome to the city of Dortmund 

Home to some 600,000 people, the city of Dortmund is located on the 

eastern edge of the Ruhr Region in the west of Germany. Famed for 

football, beer and industrial heritage, it offers plenty more besides. 

Popular day-trip destinations include Dortmund Zoo, the Westfalenpark 

and several museums, most notably the German Football Museum. 

Every winter Dortmund‘s Christmas market boasts the world‘s 

largest Christmas tree. But Dortmund’s not just about the past, or even 

the present. The future is here: Among other things, TU Dortmund 

University is busy conducting research in the field of artificial intelligence. 

While you’re in the area, why not explore some of Dortmund’s nearest 

neighbours and discover a few more of the Ruhr Region’s famous landmarks? 

Hop over to Cologne in just under an hour and a half to see 

its monumental cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, followed 

perhaps by a river cruise on the Rhine. And only half an hour away in 

Essen awaits another UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Zollverein 

Colliery, where industrial history meets contemporary art against a 

backdrop of rich architecture. 

We are happy, that you are here! Enjoy and explore Dortmund.

Overview of Member Countries 2022

WRO in 2022 

The 2022 WRO season has been a season of opposites and uncertainties, 

but also of hope. After two years of restrictions almost all our 

member countries have been able to organize events and competitions 

again in 2022. Many countries are experiencing that it is still 

hard to get ‘back to normal’. Team numbers are considerably lower 

than before, but there are also some exceptions; a few of our member 

countries have had more teams than they have ever had before! 

In 2019 we had a number of organizations in new countries that were 

eager to join the WRO community. Because of the pandemic their 

plans needed to change drastically, but we are happy to see that these 

organizations are still very committed. Some have even started WRO 

activities during the pandemic, others are finalizing their preparations 

to start next season. 

One thing has been evident: organizers, judges, coaches, and teams 

have all been very excited to be able to meet face to face again and 

really feel the competition spirit. And we are extremely happy that we 

are now also meeting organizers, judges, coaches, and teams from all 

over the world at an international final again. Even so, we realise that 

not all our member countries have been able to send a delegation this 

year. We are looking forward to welcoming them again at our international 

final next season. 

During the past two years we have taken the opportunity to reconsider 

all our competition categories. We did this with help from 

National Organizers and judges from our international community. 

We made smaller and bigger updates to the rules of two of our most 

important categories and we introduced two new categories. 

Parallel to this process we have been working on a new website and a 

complete makeover of our branding. All our branding materials were 

shared with our National Organizers, so they can present WRO in a 

consistent way. Our new mascot Philo is ready to make friends all over 

the world as well. 


ROBO 

RoboMission is our former Regular Category. This competition has 

not changed much, it is still based on the LEGO robotics platforms. After 

some debate we did decide to get rid of the building period. This 

part of the competition has been a distinctive part of WRO for many 

years. Especially for parents and spectators it was amazing to see how 

teams started with a couple of bags of LEGO elements, and then built 

their robots from memory in a very short time. Still, we decided to skip 

this part for international events and instead add a new element to the 

competition that we tested in 2018 and 2019. 

This new element of the competition is our 2nd Day Challenge. With 

the addition of this 2nd Day Challenge we test different skills, that are 

equally important for the future of the participants. On the first day 

of the event the teams have several attempts to score points in the 

season challenge that they prepared for. But on the second day of the 

event, they will receive a new set of challenges. To solve these new 

challenges, they really need to work together as a team. They only 

have a few hours to decide on a strategy, make changes to their robot 

if needed and write a new code for it. The final score is based on the 

results of both parts of the competition.

ROBO 

RoboSports is the replacement of our old Football Category. 

The football – or soccer – matches have always been an 

exciting part of the WRO competition because the robots of 

two teams compete on one field. We did not want to lose this 

part of our program, but we had noticed that the Football 

game was hard to start with for new teams. They often had the 

feeling that they could never win from the more experienced 

teams. Therefore, we have decided replace football for another 

sports game where robots of two teams compete. We rebranded 

the category into RoboSports to show that we will change the game 

every couple of years. This way all teams need to work on new strategies 

and solutions and there will be more opportunity for less experienced 

teams to participate. In the coming years the competition will 

be a Double Tennis style game, where the objective is to get as many 

balls as possible on the field of the opposing team. 

In addition to the official competition game, we have also developed 

a simpler game, for which teams only need one robot. Our member 

countries can use that game in their local competitions, to have an 

alternative for starting teams. 

FUTURE 

Future Innovators is the result of a complete makeover of our old 

Open Category. The core idea of this project-based category is still the 

same: teams need to work on a robot solution for a real-life challenge. 

For their robot model they can use any hardware and software they 

choose, making this an open platform competition. What we added 

was more focus on the value of the solutions, so we added entrepreneurial 

skills to the evaluation. We also spent a lot of time revising the 

way several aspects of the teams’ work are judged. We have made 


etter explanations for the different judging aspects so that it is clearer 

for both teams and judges what to focus on. Additional explanations 

and guides for judges and teams will make it easier to start and 

grow in this category. And because we know that at regional events 

the groups of teams are sometimes small, we spent a lot of time on 

finding a way to judge teams of all age groups combined. This has resulted 

in a separate scoring sheet for each age group, that all have the 

same maximum of points. For member countries with fewer teams, it 

is now easier to start with this category. 

FUTURE 

Future Engineers is a brand-new category for WRO. We noticed that 

there was an opportunity to attract new students that are interested 

in more realistic challenges. And that this would also offer an interesting 

competition for students that have already participated in WRO 

for a couple of years. We designed this category especially for the 

older and more experienced teams, that want to develop and test 

their robot skills even further. The Future Engineers category focuses 

on the current research trends in robotics, which means that teams 

are working on robotic solutions that engineers worldwide are also 

developing and improving. They are encouraged to work like real developers, 

keeping track of their process in an engineering workflow. 

Part of the scoring is based on their reports about the development 

process. 

Teams in this category can use any robot, controller and materials that 

are in line with the regulations. The specific challenge in this category 

will change every couple of years. We have started with a self-driving 

car challenge that focuses on camera vision. For this challenge 

teams need to develop an autonomous robot vehicle that uses camera 

images to navigate across the field.

Introducing Child Safeguarding policies 

As an organisation that works with children and young people up to 

the age of 19, World Robot Olympiad Association (WRO) has a big 

responsibility for the safety of all participants. 

Participating in WRO should be a fun and rewarding experience. And 

WRO and our partners in the member countries must do our utmost to 

provide a safe environment. 

At WRO organised events such as the WRO International Final 2022, 

we are guided by the policies developed by UNICEF. These policies 

have been developed with input from the LEGO Group. 

From the UNICEF Child Safeguarding Toolkit: 

“All children, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances, 

have the right to be protected, nurtured and free from all forms of 

violence, abuse, neglect, maltreatment, and exploitation as set out in 

the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Respecting and supporting 

this right is the essence of child safeguarding.” 

Volunteers at WRO 2022 have been guided on how to take relevant 

action when faced with potential or actual safeguarding risks. 

For access to the full UNICEF Child Safeguarding Toolkit simply search 

for these keywords in your preferred web browser: „UNICEF Child 

Safeguarding Toolkit”.

Venue: Messe Dortmund 

The Messe Dortmund is located just a little south of the city center of 

Dortmund and right next to the famous Signal Iduna Park (the home of 

Borussia Dortmund soccer team). The new north entrance to the trade 

fair provides impressive access to the International Final which uses 

three fair halls with around 20.000 square meters. In addition, the 

science location with the Technical University Dortmund and the University 

of Applied Sciences and Arts is just around the corner.
