If these questions interest you, you are not alone. Robotic technology and products like these are being used extensively in different fields such as transportation, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing and national defense and security. Thousands of students of all ages across the United States are learning and using robotics to engage in various science technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities, and pursue careers in STEM-related fields.
