Third AUS Sumo Robot Competition (April 2025)

Put your STEM skills to the test!

Join American University of Sharjah (AUS) for the third sumo robot competition.

Artificial intelligence (Al) and robotics are rapidly changing the world around us. If you are interested in applying and developing your skills in robotics and Al, as well as having a whole lot of fun, we invite you to take part in this exciting competition designed for high school students in Grades 10-12.

Here's how it works:

You will be given a robot-building starter kit, competition rules and a limited time-frame in which to build a small-scale sumo robot. Your task will be to create a robot that can withstand opposing robots' efforts to push your robot out of the sumo ring. The victorious robot will be the one that is able to push all other robots out of the ring without being eliminated. Prizes will be awarded for those creating the most successful robots.

Why get involved?

Not only will you hone your STEM skills, you will also develop other skills vital to your future success at university or in the workplace, including teamwork and problem-solving skill. You will also have the opportunity to make new friends with like-minded people and explore the impressive campus of AUS (which you might end up attending one day).
