Polish team Brave Mind Fighters finished fourth in URKL qualifying
Brave Mind Fighters, a seven-person Polish team, placed fourth out of 200 teams in the URKL 2026 qualifying rounds, which the PAP news agency called the best result by a European team.
A Polish team, Brave Mind Fighters, finished fourth out of 200 teams in the qualifying rounds of URKL 2026, the humanoid robot fighting league run by EngineAI in Shenzhen, according to the Polish press agency PAP, which described it as the best result by a European team.
The seven-member team mixes engineers and students with varied technical backgrounds, with Piotr Gerke as technical lead. Its members come from the Śniadania Robotyczne robotics community, SWPS University's HumanTech Center, Warsaw University of Technology and contributors to the Bielik AI language model project.
According to PAP, writing on 26 July 2026, the team was due to compete in the next stage in Shenzhen in August, a group stage with robots fighting in the ring, with the best teams advancing to finals in December.
Because every URKL team uses the same EngineAI T800 robot, a strong qualifying result points to the quality of a team's software rather than its hardware.
