AstroBot 2011

AstroBot joins the NASA Engineering Boot Camp 2011!

This innovative program at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt MD encourages practical hands-on learning for students of all engineering disciplines. Students work on interdisciplinary teams to design, develop, and test exciting robotics projects.

This summer, AstroBot will be revamped as part of Engineering Boot Camp 2011.

About AstroBot
Astrobot is a interdisciplinary learning platform enabling discovery through a robotic hands-on development experience for students. The goal is to develop an user friendly autonomous robotic platform to train students in Control Systems, Robotics, and applied Artificial Intelligence. The system uses the Courier Robot Platform developed two decades ago then scavenged and subsequently mothballed. The current iteration of this robot is now referred to as the Astrobot. The goal is to create a long duration academic platform to foster learning and encourage student participation in the field of Robotics. Learn More
