Meet the Scientist: Robotics
The robots are taking over Copenhagen!
Meet the Scientist is a forum allowing experts from the Association of Spanish Researchers Abroad to get together with European research institutions and bring complex scientific topics closer to the general public and scientists from other fields. At this event at ITU, we will discuss the emerging field of robotics with scientists from Germany and Denmark.
Science fiction books and movies have shown all kinds of imaginable robots, and almost all of them are becoming reality. Nowadays, drones delivering packages, self-driving cars, robot vacuum cleaners and robotic pets can be already found in our everyday lives or in research labs.
Let us show you amazing robots that will become available in the near future.
