This adventure goes beyond Hollywood and “reel” turns “real” with current and future applications of robotics in science and society. Students get riveted by science and mathematics as they design a robot probe for Mars, deep space, or ocean exploration; and program a robotic arm just like the ones used by Ford Motor Company.
