Robotic Club visits Boston Dynamics
Recently, the Nashoba Brooks Robotics Club was welcomed on a special field trip to the Boston Dynamics Lab.
This group took a tour of the facility, which included seeing different iterations of prototypes and inventions the Lab has created. Students were able to ask questions about the models and about the process of improving them over time.
As an added bonus, students were allowed to operate a Spot® ("The Agile Mobile Robot"). These dog-like robots can walk over uneven ground, open doors, pick up objects, and complete many more complex tasks. While students were piloting their robots, they also witnessed several of the Spot bots moving autonomously through the building, executing the various self-automated functions for which they had been programmed.
We are so grateful for this opportunity to expose our young engineers to this unique and innovative environment!
