Robotics Showcase 2026
Description
We’re excited to welcome you to our campus for the Robotics Showcase, as part of UTS Tech Festival 2026!
Robotics is an exciting field that blends engineering, computer science, and mathematics to create machines capable of performing tasks autonomously. From industrial automation to supporting disaster response, robotics has already had a transformative impact on numerous industries.
At the Robotics Showcase, you’ll experience real-life robots and have the opportunity to speak with UTS students and staff who develop them. Hosted by the UTS Robotics Institute (www.ri.uts.edu.au), this event celebrates our students' accomplishments from the semester and features a variety of robotics projects from both teaching and research. This event will also connect you with fellow tech enthusiasts and share insights into the ideas, strategies and thinking that shaped each project.
From designing robots that can navigate complex terrain to programming human-like robots that can interact with us, these projects highlight the vast potential of robotics to solve real-world problems and improve our lives.
