WMR at Festival of the Imagination 17th October
WMR will be at the "Festival of the Imagination" on Saturday 17th October in Warwick Arts Centre at the University of Warwick. We will have our robots in the Helen Martin Studio, with Warwick's Computer Science department, all day and a talk on "Robots for Real" at 11.30 am. This is part of the university's 50th anniversary celebrations. The events are showcasing the work we do at Warwick through a diverse programme of events all focused around the central theme 'Imagining the Future'. So at WMR we not only like to imagine the future but go someway to bring that future to reality! Have a play with our mini rescue robots, Custard and Cream (because they have Raspberry Pi's), and see if they can rescue Robin?
