Robotics is more than a passing trend. Just as Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (founders of Apple Computers) were part of the "Homebrew Computer Club" before personal computers were widespread, robotics enthusiasts are coming together to form robotics clubs around the world. The ideas, prototypes and inventions enthusiasts share at robotics clubs will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future of robotics.
Robotics groups allow users who share robotics as a common interest to gather and share ideas and information. Although most groups and clubs start in a predetermined city, many have found that being available online either via a web page or a group site can attract skilled members willing to share their information and ideas. Setting up a group or club can be as formal or as informal as the members want. Members often range in age from pre-teens who are just beginning to experts who are employed in robotics-related positions. Although this page is intended to provide a quick list of robotics clubs, users are free to add new clubs and edit/add information where appropriate. If you know of additional clubs which should be added to this list, feel free to mention them in the comments section.
