Third editionSava Centar · November 2025
The third edition of Vukobratović Robotics Days at Sava Centar — competitions, workshops, panels and the awards ceremony.
From an idea to
a national stage
6–7 November 2026 · Sava Centar — atrium and amphitheatre, Belgrade · Free admission
Vukobratović Robotics Days began as a place where the legacy of Miomir Vukobratović meets the generation building the region’s technological future.
The mission of the event
The event connects education, robotics, young talent and industry through programmes that show technology can have a purpose and social value.
Open access
Robotics, AI and STEM should be within reach of children, students, parents and schools, without the feeling that technology is reserved for a chosen few.
Young talent
Competitions, workshops and pitch formats help young people show what they know, build confidence and meet mentors and industry.
A regional scene
Vukobratović Robotics Days is building a meeting point for schools, educators, institutions, companies and young teams from the wider technology community.
The legacy of Miomir Vukobratović
Miomir Vukobratović · 1931–2012
Miomir Vukobratović was one of Serbia’s most important scientists in robotics, known for work that shaped humanoid robotics and the theory of locomotion.
The event carries his name as a bridge between that scientific legacy and the new generations only now entering the world of robotics, programming and technology projects.
