Overview
ZooQuarium is a live-demonstration format offered as part of the poster session at RoboSoft 2027. It allows authors to present and demonstrate physical soft robotic systems in person. Compared to a standard poster presentation, the ZooQuarium presentation includes a booth with a wider poster panel, a table, and access to electrical power.
The ZooQuarium poster session is available for both contributed papers and extended abstracts.
For contributed papers, the oral presentation (short or long) remains unchanged regardless of the poster format selected.
Application
Authors who wish to give a live demonstration must apply using the form below and provide a brief description of their exhibit.
For Accepted Papers and Extended Abstracts:
- Application deadline: March 7, 2027 11:59 PM PT (Pacific Time)
- Application form: 2027 ZooQuarium Participation Form
Due to the limited number of ZooQuarium booths, applications may be reviewed and selected if demand exceeds the available capacity.
Scope of Exhibits
The exhibition scope includes any soft robotic technology that is well suited to in-person demonstration, including:
- Terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial soft robots
- Soft actuators and sensors
- Grippers and manipulators
- Wearable devices
- 3D printed structures
Important Notes
- Demonstration teams are responsible for arranging the transportation, shipping, customs clearance, and insurance of their equipment. The venue and the organizers cannot receive or store shipments. Exhibits are expected to be brought in as personal luggage.
- The demo team is responsible for bringing all necessary equipment (power sources like batteries or air compressors, transformers, etc.), tools, and consumables.
- The conference organizers will not be responsible for loss, damage, or delay of demo equipment during transportation or storage.
- The demo team assumes full responsibility for the safe operation of their system during the demonstration. Compliance with venue and local regulations is mandatory.
