Public engagement activites at ICS

ICS is always trying to engage with the different stakeholder groups and explain the latest research as well as the basics of robotics and neuroengieneering to them. These groups include industry, policy makers or the general public. In the last years, we have been participating in several events, trade fairs, or conferences - below are some examples.
