You can check this map to see what’s going on in your area. In our part of the country, for example, Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry is holding a Robot Revolution Block Party, with robots from Japan, the U.S. and local robot clubs being demonstrated. This coming weekend is the Greater Chicago Botball Tournament as well.

Robotic Industries Association (RIA) is presenting a webinar tomorrow on Career Opportunities in Robotics. I plan to tune in, and will let you know here what I learn.

There’s certainly no shortage of events going on this week if you’re interested in getting involved in the robotics celebration.
