In addition, the ICRA social media official pages further strengthened the interactions among the participants. These platforms are active even in the postconference phase, enabling the community to share event pictures and acknowledge exhibitors and sponsors. This initiative will keep the participants engaged until ICRA 2018 in Brisbane, Australia. We hope that this trend will be continued to eventually create a global online robotics community of researchers and enthusiasts. SEPTEMBER 2017 * IEEE ROBOTICS & AUTOMATION MAGAZINE * 175
