WORLDTECHMexican EPICS in IEEE Team Builds Portable Educational Platform
Single source: this development was reported by IEEE Spectrum Robotics. What WORLDTECH can establish is that the report was made, and by whom. It has not been matched against a second independent organisation and has not been officially confirmed by the organisations involved.
What happened
In Guadalajara, Mexico, many high schools have motivated teachers and talented students with an interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, but they lack access to advanced tools such as robotics laboratories. The resources shortfall limits the students’ opportunities for hands-on learning on cutting-edge applications.
A team from ITESO, Universidad Jesuita de Guadalajara , is working to change that. Through the EPICS in IEEE initiative, a multidisciplinary group of 15 engineering students, faculty advisors, and IEEE Guadalajara Section volunteers developed RoboMeshA.
The portable, self-contained educational platform brings robotics and AI experiences into classrooms. EPICS is administered by IEEE Educational Activities and funded by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society .
