Why WPI?

Bob Cathcart is working with Cambridge Consultants to design and build a commercial robot, and at PracticePoint he will have an office, access to critical equipment and the talented research team, and the validation of working with a known entity such as WPI. Aside from all that, Cathcart says he’s thrilled for the networking opportunities at PracticePoint. “For a company like ours that’s small and new and unknown to people," he says, "it’s going to give us great exposure to potential industry partners.”
