As you can see, one of the main robotic stars was
Millenia, the promotional robot who talked to the guests, danced, and even performed in front of the public.
Botskers
As last year, the festival ended with the black tie Botsker Awards ceremony, where the most deserving films get a Botsker, the most coveted award in the robotic film-making industry.
