The second day of RoboBoston was a celebration for all ages and began with the Robot Parade featuring robots rolling, walking, and crawling down Seaport Blvd, making its way to the entrance to the Robot Block Party. The parade led into a ceremonial ribbon-cutting led by Mayor Wu and officially opened our most successful Robot Block Party to date.

The 8^th annual Robot Block Party brought more than 7500 attendees—families, students, and tech enthusiasts. Robotics companies, startups,universities and high school robotics teams showcased their latest innovations, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with cutting-edge technology. Drones, robotic dogs, various grippers, underwater robots and even a couple of humanoids were just a few of the exciting technologies on display. Attendees could fly a drone through an obstacle course, drive an underwater robot, tackle a robot “dummy”, and control robotic arms, all while getting a taste of the future. 

Over a dozen high school student teams showcased their previous year’s competition robots.  

Thank you to all who participated and attended the event, proving that Boston is at the forefront of the robotics revolution with a community eager to embrace and shape the future of technology.  As the event continues to grow, both in size and impact, RoboBoston has become known as a premier destination for anyone passionate about robotics, STEM education and technological advancements.
