CAMBRIDGE AND LONDON, England, 11 May 2026 – The Robosen International YouthTech-Art Design Competition will present a two-day international exhibition programme in August 2026, showcasing how young creators use robotics, technology, design and artistic imagination to respond to global challenges.
Organised by the UK Young Artists Association (UKYAA), the programme will open on 1
August 2026 at the University of Cambridge, followed by a second exhibition on 2 August 2026 at the University of the Arts London (UAL). Together, the two showcases will form a dual exhibition platform across two internationally recognised academic and creative settings.
The exhibition will feature selected works by young creators from 11 countries, with each work responding to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Spanning robotics design, digital art, visual storytelling and technology-driven creative concepts, the showcase highlights how young people are exploring the relationship between creativity,innovation and social responsibility.
The International Youth Tech-Art Design Competition is held in partnership with Robosen, a robotics company known for developing programmable, interactive and educational robotic products. Through the competition, young participants are encouraged to think beyond conventional art forms and explore how robotics, design thinking and emerging technologies can contribute to a more creative and sustainable future.
Since 2023, UKYAA has received more than 20,000 submissions from participants across 11 countries and has exhibited more than 2,000 works at venues including the Natural History Museum, Outernet London and the University of the Arts London. The 2026 dual exhibition programme represents the next stage of this development, expanding the visibility of young creators whose work addresses the future of society, the environment and technology.
Rocky Luo, General Manager of Robosen Robotics and award sponsor, said: “UKYAA bridges the gap between youth creativity and global challenges while providing emerging talent with an international stage. Through the International Youth Tech-Art Design Competition, we are pleased to support young people in exploring how robotics, technology and imagination can come together to shape new forms of creative expression. ”
The 2026 programme will invite audiences to experience how robotics and art can move beyond technical demonstration, becoming a creative language through which young people imagine better futures.
