Dexterity
The hand
Teams receive a standardized arm and focus their engineering on sensing, grasping, actuation, and control.
C.H.R.C.
Canadian Humanoid Robotics Competition
Canada's first humanoid robotics competition built for university and college teams, growing from a focused hand competition into a full humanoid event by 2030.

The 2030 roadmap
Every season adds a system.
We will raise the technical ceiling as the community grows, allowing new teams to join without facing an unrealistic workload from the start.

Next competition
CHRC 2027
Every team starts with the same open-source arm. Your job is to design the humanoid hand, integrate it with the arm, and demonstrate controlled manipulation.
Inaugural season
CHRC 2027 / Competition 01
Humanoid Hand Competition
Design and build a dexterous humanoid hand, then integrate it with the supplied arm for the first CHRC competition.
The organizing team
Built by students, for students.
CHRC began inside WeBots, Western University's humanoid robotics club, to give university and college teams a long-term technical platform for building humanoid systems.
Founder“I started the competition to bridge the gap between universities and the rapidly growing humanoid robotics industry, creating an ecosystem where students can learn, contribute, connect with industry, and build a passion for the technology.”
Seth EvansMechatronics Systems Engineering
President“I hope every participant leaves with new skills, meaningful connections, and the confidence to keep exploring robotics.”
