Animatronics, puppetry, water jet cutting? Yes. 2014: Ten years ago, our first robotics master’s and PhD students started in the brand new robotics graduate program. Sometimes to improve a robot, you have to make it simpler. It’s astonishing what our alumni can achieve. Not very many awards make the recipient feel like it’s the greatest accomplishment of their career. The Robotics Department of the University of Michigan created an interactive community art project. The group that led the creation believed that while roboticists typically take on critical and impactful problems in transportation, medicine, mobility, logistics, and manufacturing, there are many opportunities to find play and amusement in the field.
