Next Generation Robots for STEM Education andResearch at Huston Tillotson University

Abstract

Specifically, this project will enable the creation of a dedicated robotics lab for attracting students into STEM and providing real-world experience on the challenges and opportunities in the field. This robotics lab will enable, among many other things, research in the areas of physical human-robot interaction, mechatronics, artificial intelligence, web applications development, embedded systems development, and mechanical/electrical engineering. We believe that acquiring the proposed robotics equipment will greatly improve teaching capabilities atHT and accelerate research along many fronts including control, planning, and autonomous behaviors, and artificial intelligence. In particular, the proposed equipment and instrumentation will greatly facilitate ongoing research on physical human-robot interaction. Finally, the proposed equipment acquisition will catalyze further collaboration between HT and other leading institutions in the country including the University of Texas at Austin (UT).
