Some of the student's ideas were similar to our team's prototypes, which shows that these ideas could soon become a reality! (except maybe the teleporting watch, still a few years before that comes out)

[functionalfashionIROS23 @ffashionIROS23]

The student's provided some innovative ideas that can solve real world problems!

We were impressed with the attention to detail of the student's submissions, would love to see some of these in real life!

The #IROS2023 Functional Fashion Competition wasn't just for adults; we had many wonderful submissions by students aged 7 and 8 from Saint Eunan's Primary School. Thank you for your fabulous ideas! ✨
