GloboTech Communications is pleased to announce a sponsorship to The Walking Machine Club, a project lead by the engineering students of «École de Technologie Superieure» in Montreal. GloboTech Communications will provide the server hardware and the network the students need to fulfill the project, as well as the support they may need from professionals in the industry.
The student's goal is to build a domestic robot that is 100% autonomous and to present it at the RoboCup@Home, an international competition that will take place in Brazil in 2014.

A team of 24 members has been working on The Walking Machine for the last year. "Not only do the students learn important new skills related to their field of study, they also serve a social cause, the improvement of the tools for people with reduced mobility. Therefore, GloboTech Communications is proud to offer its support to the team" said Anthony Levesque, president of the company.
