A look back at our activities at the International Agricultural Show.

The four-legged walking robot sparked curiosity, amazement, and many questions, which our colleagues answered with clarity and professionalism. The youngest visitors were fascinated and asked a great number of very insightful questions for their age. Students were equally engaged, showing interest in the assistance capabilities of the robots developed in our Roboterrium, which they were able to see in action through videos shown at our stand. Our colleagues effectively explained their work and, it seems, may have planted a few seeds of future vocations!

The visit from elected officials and state representatives—whose speeches expressed support and encouragement for the ongoing work of INRAE staff, as well as their interest in our research—was appreciated by the colleagues who had the opportunity to meet them.
