Media

Our work and activities are often showcased in diverse media elements such as television, radio, newspapers and magazines. We also like to visit schools and provide talks and demonstrations to the general public and attract kids into science and engineering. If you are interested in having us visit your school, company or organization please contact us to discuss suitable schedules for a talk, demo, or simply to ask us questions on how our robots work.
