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.
