“Science for everyone to join in!” was the motto of the University of Bonn’s second Wissenschaftsfestival (“Science Festival”) on July 7, 2024. The festival provided numerous examples of the kind of research that takes place at this university of excellence: collaborative work across disciplines to find solutions to societal problems, and the integration of practice and society into research. At the booth of the Humanoid Robots Lab, headed by our PI Maren Bennewitz, our three-armed robot Hortibot demonstrated its skills in recognizing and harvesting peppers.
