Robotics at Your Fingertips

Type: Presentation

Description:
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 your fingers with a robotic glove to challenge your motor skills and catch a moving target on the screen. 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 rehabilitation.
