Pitches & Submissions

We’re looking for stories that explore the changing relationship between humans, machines and the physical world.

ROBO explores robotics not simply as a technology, but as a cultural, creative and human phenomenon. We’re interested in the ideas, people and machines shaping what comes next — and in the questions that emerge as robotics moves from the laboratory into everyday life.

We’re interested in original, thoughtful and visually compelling work from engineers, researchers, founders, artists, designers, writers, philosophers, students and anyone with a distinctive perspective on robotics.

We welcome both deeply reported, long-form stories and shorter pieces that respond to ideas, developments or debates happening now.

This includes essays, opinion pieces, interviews, profiles, photography, visual essays, film, audio and experimental work.

We are particularly interested in work that crosses disciplines and challenges the usual boundaries between technology, science, culture and society.

You don't need to be a robotics expert. You just need to have something interesting to say.

Pitches

We welcome pitches for original work that has not previously been published.

A pitch should:

• Be 500 words or less.

• Clearly explain the story or idea you want to explore.

• Tell us why it is interesting and why it matters now.

• Explain what perspective, access, research or experience you would bring to it.

• Include up to 200 words on why you think the idea is right for ROBO.

• Include a short bio and links to previous work or a portfolio, where relevant.

A good pitch doesn't need to have everything figured out. We want to see the idea, the thinking behind it and why you are the person to explore it.
