Those are the technological frontiers of the robotics industry. Colin Angle robotnavigationindustry share on social
I was focused on building things from an early age. When I was about 3, our toilet broke, and my mother was ready to call the plumber.

Between the picture of a toilet and the text she read to me explaining how the parts worked, I fixed it. Colin Angle agetoiletpicture share on social

In the original 'Star Wars' movie, there is a small toaster-sized and shaped robot on the Death Star that guides Stormtroopers to where they need to go. I always liked that robot because I could imagine how to build it - and it served a real purpose. Colin Angle moviestormtroopersize share on social
