Other Programs

WPI students can also pursue specializations involving Robotics in several departments and programs. The department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the department of Computer Science both encourage a focus on robotics, as detailed in their departmental descriptions. The department of Mechanical Engineering is developing a similar focus. All three of these departments have sponsored final capstone design projects involving the application of their disciplines to robotics.

Robotics activities are coordinated by the Robotics Resource Center (RRC), under the guidance of Ken Stafford, Director of the RRC and head of the WPI FIRST competitive program. He oversees an active lab where students design various robotics devices in the lower level of Higgins Laboratories. You may contact him for information at (508) 831-6122 or stafford@wpi.edu.
