Battling Robots Help MathWorks Get Aspiring Engineers in its Corner

摘要

An epic battle. Access to one of the country's largest maker-spaces and the latest in design tools and fabrication technologies. A mere two weeks to build and design an autonomous robot that will take down the competition. No, this is not a Discovery Channel TV competition, but rather a local, in-person event sponsored by Math-Works, Autodesk, Artisan's Asylum and SparkFun Electronics. The Autonomous Robot Design Challenge, which kicked off in Somerville, MA, in April, is the latest in MathWorks' ongoing efforts to court up-and-coming engineers with a variety of in-school and out-of-school learning initiatives.
