Project Title: Praetia
Professor: Sebnem Demirkan
Project Description: As humans continue to progress into the digital age it will become increasingly important to develop new and groundbreaking technologies, but also ways in which we share, and educate others. One of these breakthrough technologies stands to revolutionize the way we work is the adaptation and use of robotics and automation in design and fabrication. When our means of work changes, our methods of education must also change.
To better implement these technologies, and encourage students and professionals alike to push the boundaries of design and fabrication, there is a need for a learning platform that covers the various tools of automation including additive manufacturing, electronic prototyping, and robotics. Currently there are no products on the market that provide these tools and knowledge in a cost effective, streamlined solution. This project is an attempt at an affordable product developed for educational purposes meant to improve the implementation of new technologies in to universities and corporate education.
