SINGAPORE, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The World Robot Olympiad International Final 2025 officially opened on Wednesday at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
Young Minds Shaping The Future
This year's theme "The Future of Robots," explores how robotics can help address global challenges and improve lives with solutions in areas such as sustainability, health, accessibility and more. Close to 600 teams will compete across four categories — RoboMission, RoboSports, Future Innovators, and Future Engineers — showcasing creative solutions to real-world problems through hands-on robotics challenges.
These teams have advanced to the WRO International Finals through local and national competitions throughout 2025. The global competition will culminate in a closing ceremony on 28 November 2025, when winners across all categories will be announced.
More Students Choose Robotics
Participation in WRO is on the rise. The 2025 season saw a 14% lift in official participants, increasing from 24,577 teams in 2024 to 27,920 teams worldwide in 2025. Overall growth reaches 20% when including starter projects designed to make robotics and STEM education fun and accessible for beginners.
"Robotics education is about fostering the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers, so I am very pleased to see this growing traction," said Claus Ditlev Christensen, Secretary General of the World Robot Olympiad Association. "Part of this success comes from WRO's entry-level robotics initiatives, such as RoboStarter. This year, we have given more than 14,000 students a friendly, flexible, and low-pressure introduction to robotics."
Another initiative with significant potential is the free global learning platform WRO Learn, which connects and amplifies WRO's many teaching efforts across its international network.
Expanding Access to Robotics and STEM Education
"WRO brings together bright young minds from around the world and highlights how young people can use technology to make a difference," said Ms Lynette Tan, CEO of Space Faculty, the national organizer for the WRO in Singapore and host for the WRO 2025 International Final. "Seeing the championship return to the birthplace of WRO marks a full-circle moment for us, and we are proud to host the International Finals. It cements Singapore's position as a leading hub for innovation and STEM education, and inspires the next generation of innovators and problem solvers."
During the WRO 2025 International Final there is also a special feature organized by Space Faculty, called Expand Space — a future-focused zone that brings together visionary ideas, new partnerships and cross-industry inspiration across Space, Robotics and AI.
The three-day event will conclude with a closing ceremony on 28 November 2025, where winners across all categories will be announced, partner prizes awarded, and the host country for the 2026 WRO International Final revealed.

Singapore Hosts Record-Breaking World Robot Olympiad (WRO®) International Final 2025
HONG KONG, Dec. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For the millions of programmers, creative professionals, and remote workers battling the inertia of sedentary work, a breakthrough moment has arrived. LiberNovo, the company pioneering the next generation of workspace solutions, today announced the global, full-inventory launch of the LiberNovo Omni – the world's first dynamic ergonomic office chair designed to adapt to your body's every micro-movement.
The Omni is now ready-to-ship across five major regions — the US, Canada, the EU, Germany, and the UK. This milestone elevates LiberNovo from a fast-growing regional player to a multi-continent operator, opening a new era in health-focused workspaces.
The announcement follows LiberNovo's recent high-profile presence at the Global AI Pitch Summit Silicon Valley 2025, where the brand officially introduced its future-forward vision for health-first design powered by intelligent motion.
No Waiting: The Global Shift to Instant Ergonomics
Recognizing the global urgency for sitting-pain relief, LiberNovo has synchronized fulfillment across North America and Europe, enabling consumers to order and receive the Omni without lead times. The shift from pre-order to in-stock availability positions LiberNovo as a provider capable of delivering next-generation comfort on demand to engineers, designers, gamers, and hybrid workers alike.
Dynamic Ergonomics — Support Defined by Motion
The rise of long-hour remote work has proven that traditional, static seating is insufficient. Professionals are searching for the best ergonomic chair, but need a solution that can keep up with long hours. They demand the user conform to a fixed 'ideal' posture. LiberNovo Omni shifts the focus from fixed posture to Dynamic Ergonomics: support that adapts to natural movement.
Key innovations:
- Dynamic Support System — Real-time adaptive support that aligns head, spine, elbows, and hips through natural motion.
- Bionic FlexFit Backrest — 16 joints + 8 adaptive panels form a responsive S-curve that mimics the spine to relieve long-hour pressure.
- Four Intelligent Modes — Work / Entertainment / Meeting / Recovery — fluid transitions for different daily states.
- Deep Spinal Recovery Recline（160° ） — Decompression positioning designed to restore mobility and release tension.
- Intuitive Adjustability — 4D armrests, 3D neck support, adjustable seat height & recline, optional footrest for personal fit.
Together, these advancements position LiberNovo as a complete next-generation ergonomic upgrade, a meaningful alternative for users seeking comfort, pain relief, and more sustainable work-life health.
Silicon Valley AI Summit — Where Technology Meets Health
At the Global AI Pitch Summit in Silicon Valley, LiberNovo shared more than a product — it presented a vision for how AI, Dynamic Ergonomics, and health-first workspace design will redefine the future of knowledge work. Representing the emergence of motion-based ergonomics in the AI era, LiberNovo participated as an official sponsor, contributing thought leadership on how intelligent support systems can reduce the physical cost of long-hour digital labor and unlock healthier productivity at scale.
Over two days of dialogue with researchers, founders, and workplace innovators, the conversation focused on a critical shift: from static sitting to adaptive, responsive work environments. LiberNovo hosted a 45-minute expert panel exploring AI & occupational health, the body's reactivation in the sedentary era, and why dynamic support will become foundational in smart workspaces. A live keynote and product demo further illustrated how the LiberNovo Omni responds to micro-movements in real time—showing a tangible pathway toward AI-interactive ergonomics that support the body intuitively, not reactively.
This moment signaled more than a presence on stage. It positioned LiberNovo at the intersection of AI × wellness × human-centered workspace innovation, establishing the brand as a key voice in the next chapter of work—where health is not an afterthought but a core design principle for future tools and environments.
