Following on from last year’s success, the KAUST RISC Lab is back with a brand new story contest, the RobotoKAUST: Short Robotics Story and Video Contest 2022. The contest is open to children, teenagers (TKS G1- G12 level) and adults.

This year, the RobotoKAUST 2022: Short Robotics Story Contest welcomes entries in two different formats:

  • Stories up to 200 words.

The guiding thread will be the robots in marine and coastal environments. So, unleash your creativity, take a dive into the “Fantasy Ocean,” and tell us what you can see in words, images, or animations.
To apply, visit the conference website.
