We are pleased to announce our 3rd Reddit Robotics Showcase!

During the 2020 pandemic, members of the reddit & discord r/robotics community rallied to organize an online showcase for members of our community. What was originally envisioned as a small, intimate afternoon video call turned out to be a two day event of participants from across the world. The 2021 and 2022 events showcased a multitude of fantastic projects from the r/Robotics Reddit community, as well as academia and industry.

This year’s event features many wonderful robots including…

• Acrobot, the acrobatic robot!
• A large pneumatic spider covered in flowers, The Flower Spider!
• One of the best DIY arms you’ve ever seen, CM6
• An autonomous Sailboat from the aptly named Oshen!
