Welcome to Robotics
Robotics is becoming a more and more popular tool to reverse the current trend of deceasing student interest in science, mathematics, and computer science. Indeed, robotics is perhaps uniquely positioned to do so, since it uses mathematics, physics, and computer programming in hands-on activities where theoretical results have immediate real-world consequences.
