April 4-12 is National Robotics Week 2015, the sixth annual celebration of all things automated. Events are planned nationwide to showcase the growing importance of robots in the United States.
Georgia Tech’s Institute for Robotics & Intelligent Machines (IRIM) will host its own event, featuring demos of robots and tours of labs on campus, on Wednesday, April 8, 2015. But if you can’t make it in person to check out Tech’s lineup of robots, you can still take part in the festivities: For the third year in a row, we’ve released a set of trading cards to celebrate National Robotics Week. These fun cards feature some of Georgia Tech’s most talented and productive players!
And for the second year in a row, IRIM has teamed up with IEEE Spectrum and iRobot to create a “national” set of our popular robot trading cards, featuring ten famous robots developed by companies and researchers in the U.S. Don’t forget about IEEE Spectrum’s award winning, internationally acclaimed Robots for iPad app, which you can get for FREE on iTunes.
