Microsoft, colleges to develop robotics
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Two colleges are hoping to make computer science courses more attractive by including personal robots with the textbooks.
Looking to boost enrollment in introductory computer science classes, Microsoft is working with Bryn Mawr College and Georgia Tech on developing new ways to bring robotics technology into the classroom.
The software company is creating the Institute for Personal Robots in Education, which will be based mainly at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech.
