A mysterious pollution cloud has arrived in the city. You and your emergency technology special unit are the last hope. Will you be able to combat it in time?
Over 8000 people came to #KFAS Festival in #Kuwait last week. What a pleasure to have been there teaching about #robotswarms, and also learning from the public how we could use them in the real world. Sincere thanks to @1001inventions and @kfasinfo for having @SwarmEscape and me!
Great to see @SwarmEscape and @danicarzap on tour! Gathering new ideas for swarm applications, here at #KFAS Festival. Learn more at https://t.co/o3vI4HvIWO
Huge congrats to this marvellous family eager to learn about swarm robotics through playing our escape room! Available two more days at #KFAS Festival of Robotics and AI in #Kuwait@kfasinfo@1001inventions
Uses of #RobotSwarms that citizens came up with at @FestivalofIdeas '19. Not only did we design SwarmEscape! to teach about swarm robotics, but also to learn what to focus on from them. This is #ScientificAgitation: a two-way engagement between researchers and society through art
Swarm Escape! has been featured in this post as a fun tool to engage with the public! We completely agree with the post: We need to empower future roboticists and users of all ages/backgrounds if we want robots that have benefits for society. Swarm Escape! does it through play.
Sincere thanks for inviting @danicarzap and hosting Swarm Escape! at the VIII Jornadas de Teatro Científico Divulgativo last week (VIII Conference on Science Communication through Theatre). It was a real pleasure to play and engage on swarm robotics with you all ;)

Three days of @swarmescape, 40+ escapees, and a public discussion about robot swarms in the city. So many great ideas for applications and thoughts on opportunities and concerns. Months of hard work by @danicarzap to pull this off - well done! @FestivalofIdeas#futurecity19
Congrats to Jennifer from @sim_manchester who fought against pollution (and rain, literally), and impressively escaped in 38:41 ON HER OWN! Glad to have you down here. Hope Swarm Escape! can be up there some day :) Thanks to @pippahough from @sciencemuseum for the heads up too!
Swarm Escape is ready for its last day at @FestivalofIdeas#FutureCity19. Pop by #MillenniumSquare between now at 3pm to play our free escape room :) (Weather dependant - safety first!)
Last chance to play our unique, swarm robotics escape room tomorrow at Millennium Square, from 10am to 3pm (last slot 2pm-3pm), completely FOR FREE! Pop by to experience what 40 people in these two days of @FestivalofIdeas#futurecity19 have experienced so far :)
And the last group of the day escaped in an awesome time of 29 minutes and 17 seconds. Congratulations! They've been the second best time so far. Maybe the fact that some of them are doing/have done the MSc in Robotics helped? :P Featuring an actual FARSCOPER! @farscopecdt
Thanks to the RED team from
@BristolUni for not only supporting our research but also testing it! Super nice time. They escaped in 36:06! Second best time so far :)
@FestivalofIdeas#FutureCity19
Fantastic Spanish & English collaboration! :) They escaped in 56 minutes and 5 seconds. Great to have you playing Swarm Escape! at @FestivalofIdeas#futurecity19
Well done to the college students who arrived a bit late to their lesson because they were playing Swarm Escape! this morning. They had to leave to go to class but came back later to finish. And they did! Congratulations :)
Swarm Escape! is now ready here at Millennium Square, with volunteers @arubioden and @sabinehauert. Open for enthusiast players! Slots 1pm-2pm, 2pm-3pm and 5pm-6pm still available. Pop by and sign up for today and tomorrow. @FestivalofIdeas#FutureCity19
