A massive student-driven robotics movement is sweeping across Europe. A student in Zurich even sleeps in a camper van outside a hangar just to maximize time spent building humanoid robots.
This intense dedication has culminated in the launch of the European Student Robotics Association (ESRA). The network has already united 2,500+ students across 8 countries and 13 robotics clubs, providing highly talented young people with the space and resources to build robots. The author predicts this grassroots network will spawn several multi-billion-dollar robotics companies in Europe.
