As part of the “Sea Days 2025” celebrations, the Robotics Festival achieved remarkable success, welcoming hundreds of students, educators, parents and citizens who transformed SEF into a vibrant hub of learning and innovation.
The Robotics Festival marked a record in participation this year, with nearly 90 student teams from across the Attica region who showcased their Robotics projects, demonstrating a strong momentum in cultivating next-generation talent and fostering early engagement with innovation and emerging technologies.
Gabriel Ioannidis, a student at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and a junior Researcher at the Robotics Institute of Athena RC, represented the joint participation of Athena RC and HERON with the AI-enabled social robot ROBOBO, captivating both students and visitors with its interactive capabilities.
In addition to the engaging ROBOBO demonstrations, students and visitors had the opportunity to learn more about the emerging HERON Robotics Center of Excellence and its goals, raising awareness about innovative technological development in Greece and beyond.
