Robotics at Your Fingertips

Experience cutting-edge developments in robotics with your hands and fingertips. Activities will include touching a smart pressure-sensing membrane to create your artistic drawing, flying your paper gliders to understand efficient locomotion of underwater robots, and moving the plunger on a syringe to bend soft robotic fingers. Additional displays of robots, posters, and videos will explain relevant robotics research projects and their real-world applications in detecting invasive species, monitoring water quality, and harvesting produce.
