BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / March 6, 2025 / National Robotics Week 2025 is almost here! Taking place from April 5-13, 2025, this annual celebration aims to inspire students in robotics and STEM-related fields and share the excitement of robotics with audiences of all ages.
MassRobotics, the world's largest robotics hub, supporting the growth, commercialization and adoption of robotics technology, has participated annually in the Robotics Week celebration, hosting students for impactful and engaging hands-on experiences in the MassRobotics STEM Lab.
"We are always happy to share our first-hand experience with students, as we believe in inspiring the next generation of innovators," said Thomas Ryden, MassRobotics Executive Director. "Showcasing the multitude of career paths in the robotics field not only highlights the diverse opportunities available but also helps students envision how they can apply their skills and passions to shape the future of technology."
This year, with the support of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory, also known as DEVCOM ARL, MassRobotics will host hands-on robotics experiences for both local and out-of-state students and Army representatives will be on-hand, supporting these engagements fostering curiosity and innovation.
"It is exciting to help students discover robotics and recognize the real-world applications for both military and civilian fields," said Dr. Shawn Coleman, DEVCOM ARL Northeast lead. "We are thrilled to collaborate with MassRobotics to provide students with an immersive experience in robotics."
Highlights for the MassRobotics sessions during National Robotics Week Include:
Hands-On Robotics Workshops: Students will have the chance to program robots for a mini-competition.
