The following week, the RoboCup Junior Western Australia competition also saw a demonstration of Baxter, the Confined Space Robotics Challenge and the Open Academic Robot Kit. These activities aim to not only inform the community about the work of the Intelligent Robots Group but to also encourage schools in the Perth area to join the second pilot of these initiatives.
