WPI Summer Robotics Program

[Ken Stafford]

What a season! Congratulations to all you FIRST Frenzy survivors. If the season just whetted your appetite for even more learning and messing around with robots, you may want to consider attending the Frontiers Robotics Course at WPI.

This will be the 3rd year we have conducted this 2-week residence course on campus at WPI. As usual we will be conducting seminars and lab sessions on such topics as DC Motors, Materials, Pneumatics, Power Transmission, Mechanisms, Controls, Programming, and Machining. New this year will be an increased emphasis on Sensors (e.g. ultrasonic, infrared, advanced yaw devices, artificial vision) and Autonomous Operations--if you wondered how 190 did the autonomous hang, here's where you find out!

While we have increased the class size to 40, the time to apply is running short! For further info: http://www.admissions.wpi.edu/Frontiers/study.html or just send me an e-mail.

Best of luck to all on the post-season circuit!
