Competitions, collaborations, workshops and launches from RoboticGen, RoboticGen Labs and RoboticGen Academy.
Our stall at the ළMore Children's Day celebration became the busiest corner of the event. Children built their own gliders from scratch, drove the Obo Car using a phone, and met Obo Dog, our robot dog, which stole the show. It was a joyful reminder of what we believe at RoboticGen Academy: technology is best learned with your hands.
RoboticGen Academy is collaborating with Wycherley International School to bring hands-on STEM learning to more students. Through this collaboration, we are offering free STEM sessions for schools within Colombo, giving students the chance to explore Robotics, AI and Programming through practical, project-based learning.
RoboticGen conducted a hands-on IoT workshop at MoraForesight 4.0, organized by the University of Moratuwa. Participants explored how the Internet of Things connects devices, data and technology to solve real problems and build smarter solutions. We were proud to return to MoraForesight, having supported earlier editions of the programme.
RoboticGen Labs' Enterprise Telematics Management System (ETMS) was awarded National First Runner-Up in the Best Innovative Product in Transportation & Logistics category at the SLASSCOM National Ingenuity Awards 2026. Our thanks go to our supporters, our partners and the entire RoboticGen Labs team who made this milestone possible.
RoboticGen Labs became the Open Category Champions at the SLIOT Challenge 2026 with ETMS, our Enterprise Telematics Management System. We thank the organizers of the SLIOT Challenge 2026 and main sponsor SLT-MOBITEL for creating a platform that empowers innovation, technology and young creators across Sri Lanka.
We officially opened RoboticGen Dehiwala, our new innovation hub and makerspace, on 26 April 2026. After years of building from the ground up, RoboticGen now has a home of its own: one space for robotics and AI, hardware, IoT and product development, and for the hands-on classes of RoboticGen Academy. It is where the next generation of engineers, innovators and problem-solvers will be built.
We have open-sourced our MicroMouse project. What started as a competition-winning robot is now an open platform for builders and problem-solvers to explore and push the boundaries of maze-solving algorithms. The full project is on GitHub for anyone to study, experiment with and build on.
Our young innovators represented RoboticGen Academy at Coolest Projects 2025, organized with the support of the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Commercial Bank, and came home with five awards: 2nd place for Most Popular Project (Yahya Rikshan) and Game Development (Osanda Thenuka), and 3rd place in Advanced Programming (Duhina Sammaddapperuma), Artificial Intelligence (Shawin Jemes) and Scratch (Akasha Wickramasinghe).
We were honored to take part in IEEE Education Week held at TRACE Expert City last Monday. It was a truly inspiring day where we had the opportunity to engage with future innovators through a live demonstration of Obo Dog, conduct insightful sessions on robotics led by our CTO at RoboticGen Academy Odil Janandith, and showcase our Obo Car during an exciting round of Obo Soccer
