Micromelon Robotics presented at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2018, held in Brisbane. ICRA is one of the world's largest and most prestigious robotics conferences, attracting researchers, engineers, and industry leaders from across the globe.
|
|
|
|
The conference provided Micromelon with a unique platform to showcase the Rover and its integrated coding environment to an international audience of robotics professionals. The team demonstrated how the platform bridges block-based and text-based programming, making robotics accessible to students from grade 3 through to senior secondary.
|
|
|
|
Presenting at ICRA connected Micromelon with leading robotics researchers, potential collaborators, and organisations exploring how educational robotics can inspire the next generation of engineers and computer scientists. The feedback reinforced that the team's approach - a purpose-built educational robot paired with progressive software - addressed a genuine gap in the market.
|
|
|
|
Having ICRA hosted in their home city of Brisbane made the opportunity especially meaningful. The conference put Micromelon on the international radar and opened conversations that would shape the platform's development in the years ahead.
