IEEE LARC HRR

Humanoid robots capture global attention, but achieving coordinated, fluid movement while maintaining balance remains a major hurdle in robotics. That’s why, in 2012, the IEEE RAS Latin American Robotics council launched a groundbreaking competition: Humanoid Robot Racing (IEEE HRR) designed to push the boundaries of bipedal mobility.

Your Mission: Build the Future of Humanoid Robotics The IEEE HRR competition has a clear goal advance walking and running algorithms to create more agile, stable humanoid robots. By challenging researchers to optimize bipedal movement, we’re paving the way for robots that can seamlessly interact with humans bringing sci-fi visions closer to reality. Ready to race toward the next breakthrough? The track is waiting!

How To start

Read the rules, build your robot, and stay connected on Discord and email for updates (including hotel discounts). If you need a visa invitation letter, you can request one. Then, make sure you complete these steps by the listed dates:

• Thursday, September 25th – Pre-register your team using [this form].

• Monday, October 6th – Pay on the [ticketing page] to confirm registration.

• Friday, October 24th – Submit your TDP* using [this form].

• Wednesday, October 29th (4 pm) – Arrive in Monterrey and check in.

*A TDP is a brief technical document where each team presents their project, including team details, design, strategies, and results. Its purpose is to share approaches and foster knowledge exchange.
