Due to global COVID-19 pandemic's spread to our country around the early March, this year's International ITU Robotics Olimpics were delayed to a later date.

When situtation covering the pandemic did not improve, instead of usual format, ITURO Lite event, which only comprised of online seminars which were streamed on Youtube, was carried out.

13th International ITU Robotic Olimpics took place at Süleyman Demirel Cultural Center in Ayazağa Campus, ITU on April 11-12-13.

ITURO 2019 was carried out with students from a large number of universities and high schools. 265 projects from 665 preliminary projects have competed in 11 different categories: Line Follower Junior, Drone, Mikro Sumo, Construction, Stair Climbing, Maze, Color Selecting, Traffic, Line Football, Scenario and Innovative Category. Seminars, interviews and panels were realized with the participation of over 10,000 visitors. ITURO has been attracted to many publicity channels, especially social media, and has been featured in many printed and visual publications.

Seminars

• Machine Learning - Zehra Çataltepe (İTÜ)
• Multimodal Machine Comprehension - Prof. Dr. Aykut Erdem (Hacettepe Üniversitesi)
• Integrating vision and language - Prof. Dr. Erkut Erdem (Hacettepe Üniversitesi)

Panel - Otonom Araçlarda Güvenlik ve Etik

• Yrd. Doç. Dr. Mesut Serdar Çekin
• Doç. Dr. Volkan Sezer

ITU Robot Olympics of organized in 15-16-17 April 2010 at Süleyman Demirel Cultural Center in Ayazağa Campus of ITU. 651 student projects made pre-registration in ITURO 2010. 354 of them competed in seven different categories: “(Line Follower, Line Follower Enhanced, MiniSumo,Vacuum Cleaner, Fire Fighter, Maze, Balancing Robot and Innovative Category)” Participants of organization show ed their projects on their tables in Süleyman Demirel Cultural Center. ITURO2010 had many competitors from 70 different universities and high schools an over 6000 visitors. ITURO 2010 found a place in written and visual media. ITURO 2010 achieved to be first in its branch with online live broadcast.

21 projects which were made in different categories were awarded with the prizes. Competitors of Innovative Category took an opportunity to show and present their projects in visual media. Competitors also took these prizes: industrial design, patent and utility model. There were also panel discussions, interviews and symposiums out of the competitions in ITURO 2011.

Visitors and competitors interested with the symposiums which are different subjects about robotics. Panel iscussions, displays, interviews and symposiums which held in ITURO 2010 are as follows
