A community robotics build day brought students and retirees together
The post says the first Pupper Build Day just wrapped up, hosted by Teresa Nguyen and Stuart Bowers.
It was framed as an effort to democratize robotics with participation from The PSF, Raspberry Pi, Stanford, Google DeepMind, and Sutter Health.
The attached photos show:
- participants assembling small robot parts and circuit boards at tables;
- a group gathering in a living-room-style demo space;
- someone working on a robot dog assembly near a laptop and lab equipment.
The event drew a mixed crowd, from retirees to high school students to middle school girls.
