This workshop intends to actively engage promising young engineering students in the fields of electronics, robotics and embedded computer systems-areas of ever-increasing importance to this nation's goals in communications, transportation, and space exploration. Specifically, we propose to incorporate wireless communication technology between the robots and laptop or tablet computers to support student learning in communications, embedded systems, and control.

How soothing it would have been if it were “words speak louder than Action”!

These unbelievably obedient robots can carry out the task with just your voice signals or a remote in your hand. In this Exclusive Workshop experience the revolutionary technology of speech recognition and wireless communication.
