Elementary school kids learn about Robotics and Haptics

On 19 Oct. 2010, about 20 kids from local elementary schools visited our lab. Mrs. Julie Tarbell, who organized the field trip, is also UB graduate. The kids learned about the research in the lab, and have the opportunity to try out some of the haptic simulations created in our lab.
