Description: Interested in sharing your robotics research with a broader audience?

Effective science communication is crucial. It bridges the gap between complex robotics concepts and diverse groups, including policymakers, business leaders, and the general public. As a researcher, honing this skill can not only improve your communication but also broaden your network and amplify the impact of your work.

In this concise tutorial, top science communicators in robotics and AI will guide you on how to present your research clearly and succinctly to non-specialists. You’ll discover how to steer clear of hype, select appropriate images and videos to showcase your work, and get started with social media. We’ll conclude with tips from mainstream media on how to reach a wider audience with your story.
