Less than three weeks remain before European Robotics League 2026 takes place on 13-15 May in The Hague. More precisely, the location will be Scheveningen, which is the seaside resort in the Dutch capital. Months of planning will finally end when 13 teams from several countries gather to contest five episodes at this flagship event. These will test the teams’ prowess in robotics for inspection and maintenance, coastal inspection, emergency response, customer service and – in a challenge designed with the beach in mind – sand management. The Scheveningen event is open to the public and there is a dedicated public programme. The ERL 2026 website provides full details of the overall programme, the teams, locations, partners and sponsors, and the overall timetable.
