The US Department Of Defense awarded Huston Tillotson University (HTU) an equipment grant as part of the Research and Education Program for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU/MI)! The principal investigator, Dr. Azubike Okpalaeze, will use the grant to found a cutting edge robotics lab within HTU’s CS department. Dr. Okpalaeze will use the lab to support HTU’s new robotics coursework, as well as his research into safe Human-Robot Interaction. To help launch their new program, Additive Robotics will be working closely with HTU to provide equipment and training tailored to their needs.
