Feb 18, 2016 – NC State Campus Demo: Build our own Humanoid Robots for STEM Outreach

We brought KEN to the NC State University Centennial Campus on February 18, 2016.  One of the purposes is to increase the public awareness of humanoid robots, and more importantly, the second objective is to recruit undergraduate students and graduate students to work on the second generation of the humanoid robot with the Forge Initiative children and families at Hopewell Acadamy. About 65 students from different majors came to the meeting. They asked many interesting questions during the demonstration. After the talk, many students came to the front to interact with the robot carefully and asked Daniel, the lead developer, more questions about the robot. Several students signed up to participate in the robot-building activities. It was a successful event.
