The inaugural ROBOT RUN will bring humanoid and quadruped robots to Krak\u00f3w’s B\u0142onia on September 6, 2026, combining cutting-edge technology with charity fundraising for people with disabilities. <\/p>\n
On Sunday, September 6, 2026, the first edition of ROBOT RUN will take place from 12:30 to 14:30 alongside the 15th anniversary of the Poland Business Run. Humanoid and quadruped robots will compete in events such as a 100-meter sprint and a slalom, requiring precise sensors, control systems, and well-written code rather than running shoes.<\/p>\n
Piotr Biedro\u0144, director of the Science & Technology Film Festival and creator of ROBOT RUN, notes that the event aims to showcase the remarkable progress of robotics by bringing machines out of laboratories. Additionally, each robot registration serves as a donation to support the beneficiaries of the Poland Business Run Foundation, bridging robotics and modern prosthetics.<\/p>\n
Technology companies, universities, schools, research groups, laboratories, and private individuals are eligible to register humanoid or quadruped robots that meet competition requirements. Fully autonomous, semi-autonomous, and operator-controlled machines are all permitted to enter the events.<\/p>\n
Registration is available online, with a minimum entry fee of 100 PLN structured as a direct donation to the Poland Business Run Foundation. All proceeds directly support individuals with physical disabilities, amputations, and mastectomies by funding rehabilitation, prosthetics, wheelchairs, and psychological assistance.<\/p>\n
The Poland Business Run has attracted a record 47,500 participants for this year’s event, expanding its scope to include robotic competitors on the B\u0142onia grounds. Funds raised through entry fees continue to finance critical assistance and specialized medical care for beneficiaries.<\/p>\n
The foundation operates the “Znowu w Biegu” Rehabilitation Center, offering comprehensive care for amputees and orthopedic patients, alongside Krak\u00f3w’s Support and Testing Center, which provides free consultations and assistive technology loans. Agnieszka Pleti, president of the foundation, emphasizes that the initiative allows diverse communities to support individuals with disabilities through innovative means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
