Robotics Association of South Africa Local Association that galvanises & coordinates the efforts of the various Robotics & Artificial Intelligence (AI) research initiatives across South Africa

Our Objective

The objective of Robotics Association of South Africa is the formation of a Local Association that galvanises and coordinates the efforts of the various Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) research initiatives across South Africa. The two key initiatives that form the 'Mainstay' of this effort are our participation in the RoboCup Federation competitions and the FIRST Lego League challenges with other initiatives not excluded.

• To galvanises and coordinate the efforts of the various Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) development and research initiatives across Southern Africa.

• Promote awareness of the Robotics and AI research initiatives taking place at the primary and tertiary education institutions in the region.

• Participating in and hosting International Robotics events such as RoboCup or FIRST Lego League championships in South Africa.

• Building a stronger network among the Robotics and AI research and interest group community in Southern Africa and Internationally.

• Attracting stronger Industry and Government support and participation in the encouragement and development of higher level engineering skills in Southern Africa.

• Recognition for the efforts of or local Robotics and AI research teams and practitioners. Disclaimer:

The yearly RobMech and PRASA conference supported by the Robotics Association of South Africa.

SPONSOR/EXHIBITOR OPPORTUNITIES 2026

The upcoming summit offers vendors in the smart mining, manufacturing, and related sectors a prime platform to showcase their solutions and gain industry visibility. It also highlights the growing role of robotics and automation, aligning with leading initiatives such as RobMech and PRASA that are shaping South Africa’s advanced manufacturing landscape. This year the proceedings will include multiple streams, including Industry Case-Studies, Thought-Leadership, and Academic Peer-Reviewed Research presentations.

Focused on knowledge sharing, the event aims to strengthen the country’s smart mining and manufacturing community. Industry and Academic members will present research, case studies and success stories that inspire discussion, encourage questions, and promote collaboration across traditional operations, robotics, and intelligent systems.
Vendors will have the opportunity to exhibit their products and services and deliver thought‑leadership presentations. Sales pitches are not permitted; all presentations must support the development of a cutting‑edge smart mining, manufacturing, and robotics ecosystem in South Africa.

Participation provides a valuable chance to build business relationships, engage with industry leaders in manufacturing operations management, and connect with the broader robotics/automation community represented by RobMech and PRASA.
