  • Underwater race: a competition for underwater soft robots that have to move in a confined environment

The RoboSoft Grand Challenge is open to international teams of experts in soft robotics, young researchers and students, but also to the wide public and curiosity driven people able to compete in this field. Check the important dates at the event website.

It is organised by the FET RoboSoft coordination action.
