National Robotics Week
Join us April 9 - 17 for this second-annual celebration that explores how robots impact society, both now and in years to come. Throughout the week, check out special presentations in the Gordon Current Science & Technology Center, and visit the robots in Cahners ComputerPlace, like the Mars personal exploration rover and the life-saving iRobot Packbot. The event culminates with a Robot Block Party on April 16.
