ARTSI

Abstract

The ARTSI (Advancing Robotics Technology for Societal Impact) Alliance is a collaborative education and research project centered around robotics for healthcare, the arts, and entrepreneurship.

ARTSI Goals:

   * Increase the number of African Americans who study computer science and robotics in college, and encourage them to pursue advanced training in graduate school.
   * Increase the number of HBCU faculty who educate students in robotics and involve students in robotics research.
   * Recruit K-12 and HBCU students to pursue computer science and robotics education.

BROADER IMPACTS of the ARTSI Alliance

   * Promoting role modeling and mentoring for HBCU faculty and students in robotics education and research.
   * Creating a nation-wide resource and learning community of African Americans involved in robotics, and increasing public awareness of their work.
   * Enlarging the audience of students who find robotics computing careers attractive.
