There were multiple robots and smart systems to choose from including a collaborative robot platform SmaRC, an immersive virtual reality system, rover, smart armband and flat-screen TV rigged with four sensors turning it into a touch-screen display.<\/p>\n<p>In February, the club is conducting a series of workshops on robotics innovation, which received grant support from the National Science Foundation as well as the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. A goal of these academic events is to attract more women and underrepresented minorities to the STEM field, Wang says. With students across all academic disciplines working in groups, it will be interesting to see what the future holds.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Robotics Club is supported by the National Science Foundation under <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=2104742&amp;HistoricalAwards=false\" target=\"_blank\">Grant No. CNS-2104742<\/a> and <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=2117308&amp;HistoricalAwards=false\" target=\"_blank\">Grant No. CNS-2117308<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<span class=\"prpl-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/newscenter\/2022\/02\/08\/a-new-club-goes-high-tech\/\">Read more on the University News site<\/a><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robotics innovates the ways students can get involved on campus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":210379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,59,44,14,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-210378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-csam-students","category-graduate","category-opportunities","category-school-of-computing","category-undergraduate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210378"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210380,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210378\/revisions\/210380"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
