iRobot employees are encouraged to volunteer with our initiative called SPARK (Starter Programs for the Advancement of Robotics Knowledge). We bring interactive robot demonstrations to K-12 schools, host tours of our corporate headquarters to give students hands-on experience with robots and show teachers how robots can be used to teach STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) subjects. Today I joined two colleagues at the MIT Museum where we demonstrated several of our robots in a special exhibition for the community. I had a chance to demo our PackBot. This is one bad boy robot and a lot of fun to drive. Unfortunately, our 2 hour demo ended all too quickly and I was back at the office preparing for a one week trip to China. It is very likely that I will not be able to post again until I return.
