An exciting head-to-head competition where humanoid robots tackle real-world challenges, showcasing the latest advances in robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous technology.
Putting advanced technology to the test on the big stage!
DEPLOY ROBOTS is a new technology game show produced by Dream Cloud that brings humanoid robotics into the world of competitive entertainment. The show features robotics teams competing head-to-head in a series of real-world challenges designed to test their robots' capabilities, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. From unpacking deliveries and assembling objects to cleaning and organizing everyday spaces, each challenge puts emerging robotics technology to work in an exciting and unpredictable environment.
By combining the excitement of a game show with the latest developments in robotics and artificial intelligence, DEPLOY ROBOTS gives audiences an entertaining way to experience the future of technology. Beyond the competition, the show celebrates the engineers, developers, and innovators bringing intelligent machines to life, highlighting both their achievements and the challenges of building robots that can operate in the real world.

DEPLOY ROBOTS welcomes robotics startups, university research labs, independent developers, and established engineering teams with working humanoid robotic systems. We're looking for teams building robots capable of interacting with everyday objects, navigating real-world environments, and performing practical physical tasks. Whether your technology is designed for home assistance, industrial automation, or general-purpose robotics, DEPLOY offers an opportunity to demonstrate its capabilities in front of a wider audience.
Participating teams must have a functioning physical robot capable of object manipulation, safe operation, and transportation to the competition venue. Beyond technical performance, DEPLOY celebrates the people behind the machines, giving engineers and developers an opportunity to showcase their work, share their innovations, and compete alongside others advancing the field of robotics.
DEPLOY ROBOTS features head-to-head matchups where two teams compete simultaneously in identical environments. Challenges fall into three categories: UNPACK, ASSEMBLE, and CLEAN, testing skills such as object recognition, manipulation, navigation, dexterity, and problem-solving. Each challenge is timed, with robots earning points for successfully completed tasks. Teams compete under the same conditions, ensuring a fair and exciting competition where performance determines the winner.
Both autonomous operation and human-assisted teleoperation are permitted. Teams may take control of their robots when necessary, but time spent in teleoperation mode results in a scoring penalty, encouraging greater autonomy without preventing teams from completing difficult tasks. The competition rewards practical performance, efficiency, and adaptability while giving audiences an opportunity to witness the capabilities of emerging robotics technology.

Robotics is advancing rapidly, with engineers and researchers developing machines capable of performing increasingly complex tasks. Yet much of this innovation remains confined to laboratories, research facilities, and carefully produced demonstrations. Dream Cloud created DEPLOY to bring these technologies into the public spotlight, giving audiences an opportunity to see real robots performing practical tasks in an entertaining and competitive environment.
By making robotics accessible through familiar challenges and exciting head-to-head matchups, DEPLOY aims to bridge the gap between the technology industry and the wider public. The show creates a shared experience where viewers can discover emerging technologies, follow the teams developing them, and better understand the possibilities and limitations of modern robotics.
DEPLOY is designed to be more than a competition. It provides robotics companies, startups, independent developers, and research institutions with an opportunity to demonstrate their technology, build recognition, and connect with potential customers, partners, and investors. By placing robots in real-world challenges with clear objectives, the competition highlights meaningful technological progress while encouraging teams to continue improving their systems.
Entertainment plays an important role in making that progress visible. Through compelling challenges, team stories, and unpredictable moments, DEPLOY transforms complex engineering achievements into experiences that anyone can enjoy and understand. As the competition grows, Dream Cloud aims to expand the platform into additional areas of emerging technology, creating new opportunities for innovators to showcase their work and inspire the next generation of builders.
