Visit to iRobot
Prof. Yanco has arranged a tour of iRobot on Wednesday, 4/23 at 2pm. iRobot is located in Burlington, just a short drive down Route 3. The company develops many different types of robots from military uses (robots used to search caves in Afghanistan) to domestic uses (the Roomba vacuuming robot) to toys (My Real Baby) to research (small ant-like robots). You can learn more about iRobot here.
