Bucky meets social robots for first National Robotics Week
The Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory partnered with the UW-Madison IEEE Robot Team and iRobot Corporation’s SPARK Educational Initiative to contribute to the 1st National Robotics Week with a daylong educational experience for K-12 students and parents.
The event, organized by Bilge Mutlu, an assistant professor of computer sciences, psychology, and industrial engineering, and an interdisciplinary team of students, attracted students and parents from the Madison area interested in science and technology, particularly computer science and robotics.
Mutlu and his students plan to offer daylong educational events annually in conjunction with the National Robotics Week as well as daylong summer camps starting the summer of 2010.
