Robots, Get a Grip
Good Morning All,
The grippers are now fully functional. Students can use the Xbox One controller or Kortex Web App to control the arms.
Again, please remind the students to make sure to rest the arm on the foam pad before power off the robot.
Thanks,-Chutima

Amazon Robotics Workshop
In today’s technology-driven world, preparing students for the future workforce is more important now than ever before. Introducing young students to technology before they reach higher education can increase their ability to become innovative critical thinkers and more creative members of the future workforce. As the government and private sectors address the need and importance of robotics, programs and laws are emerging that incorporate this technology into their public education system. Hampton is teaching students the basics of robotics and thereby exposing them to the realities and exciting opportunities of a future that includes robotics in science, engineering, and business.
