    Our driver support software has been released and is out there saving lives! It’s a proper milestone, so Veronika asked Erik to come and discuss it. Erik is our chief technical officer, responsible for research and technology development since the company was founded. He’s also an adjunct Professor of Mechatronics at Chalmers University. Please tune in to the new season of Deeper learning to hear Veronika and Erik as they discuss the strategic bets that have fueled our mission – and some of the challenges we faced along the way. https://lnkd.in/dhtkjDeb

    Are you going to the Georgia Mathematics Conference? While you’re there, check out Knowles Senior Fellow, Mandi Dean’s Presentation “Robot Ruckus! Mathematical Learning Through VEX Robotics”, October 17, 2024 at 1pm! In this session, you will explore ways that robotics principles related to engineering and programming can provide students with opportunities to learn mathematical concepts in an applied setting. You will also discuss strategies for getting started with VEX robotics. Let us know what you think about the presentation! #knowlesteachers #GMC2024

    An update: I am spending this summer at the Learning Systems and Robotics Lab in Munich under Prof. Angela Schoellig. I will be working on research related to robotic manipulators and reinforcement learning. Looking forwards to learning from everyone at the lab! For fun, here is a model of a human arm learning to reach towards a target. (In theory it should be learning, anyways) Check out P. Schumacher's github for this particular model. https://lnkd.in/gPxWH7YA

    Giving our children the best opportunities in life is every parent's top priority. Robotics can be an excellent way to get kids interested in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) from an early age. This cutting-edge field allows kids to develop a wide range of valuable skills in an engaging, hands-on way. Here are 5 compelling reasons why you should get your child involved in robotics.

    A simplified draft version of the shareable poster for The Children's Book of the Future. Includes children born in space, care homes for old robots, space waste and the what every kid wants to know - there's gold in space!
