Creepy Crawlers at Capitol College

Capitol College and the NASA Robotics Academy presented "Creepy Crawlers," a public lecture by Dr. Roger Quinn of Case Western Reserve University on Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. in the Avrum Gudelsky Memorial Auditorium. This fun and exciting robotics lecture had something for all ages, featuring live demonstrations of Dr. Quinn's bio-inspired robots. Dr. Quinn's current work includes developing robots that can move through pipelines, robots that can fly long distances, land and walk, robots that can climb vertical surfaces using animal-inspired materials and mechanisms, robots that can move well on land and in water, and developing insect-inspired intelligent systems to increase the autonomy of mobile robots.
