Your Opportunity for Robotics Fame Awaits!

Here’s your chance to have a great time creating novel, and useful, robots and win an international competition: Expandable Robots – From Small to Big (S2B)! On October 8-9 at IEEE SMC 2018 in Miyazaki, Japan, show your colleagues how your robot can be packed in small volumes, deploy from its small package to larger volume/aperture, and function in its larger, expanded form.

First, let us know you’re interested!
