Robot Magazine was an American bi-monthly robotics publication produced by the Maplegate Media Group.[1] The first issue appeared in November 2003. Topics covered commonly include: how hobbyists can build and program robots from kits or from scratch, results of robot competitions and conventions, and how educators in colleges and high schools are incorporating the building and programming of robots into their teaching of science, engineering, and math.
In January 2012 Greg Vogel became the editor-in-chief of Robot Magazine which is based in Danbury, Connecticut.[1]
In 2017 Maplegate Media has closed its doors and is out of business. Robot Magazine no longer exists.
