Institute for Personal Robots in Education Blog

The IPRE team was both thrilled and honored to be awarded last month (July) the “Technical Innovation Award for Educational Impact” at the AAAI-07 Sixteenth Annual AAAI Mobile Robot Competition in Vancouver BC, Canada.

This esteemed event, chaired this year by Profs. Jeff Forbes (Duke University) and Paul Oh (Drexel University), is a great place to see and interact with some cool robotics projects in both a research and a teaching context, while also enjoying the context of one of the world's leading AI (Artificial Intelligence) conferences.
