NAO Challenge in Italy

The 2026 season of Italy's NAO Challenge attracted more than 35 secondary school teams from across the country, each made up of 7 to 10 students and a supervising teacher. The competition has two parts, a technical challenge and a performance challenge, in which participants program the humanoid robot NAO and stage live performances. The event was first launched in 2015 by Scuola di Robotica and CampuStore, with Maxtronics as sponsor.
