Lab and research tours
At Maryland Robotics Day, you will be able to tour laboratory facilities and see research in many different areas of robotics.
Examples of the research you'll be able to see will be listed below as they become available. Check back frequently, as demonstrations and locations are subject to change.
This list was last updated on Sept. 13, 2012.
