• CREATE: Community Robotics, Education and Technology Empowerment - CREATE brings together our mission in furthering Human-Robot Interaction with our desire to disruptively redefine how communities can make sense of their context through the use of robotic technologies.

• Educational Robotics - We are developing both physical robots and curriculum that will make educational robotics viable at the middle school and high school levels.
• Global Connection Project - The Global Connection Project develops software tools and technologies to increase the power of images to connect, inform, and inspire people to become engaged and responsible global citizens.
• Telepresence Robot Kit - To design, create, and disseminate robotics curricula and technologies that motivate young women and men to actively explore science and technology.
• The Personal Rover Project - We have developed the Personal Rover - a 18"x12"x24" highly autonomous, programmable robot.
• Toy Robots Initiative - The Toy Robots Initiative aims to commercialize robotics technologies in the educational, toy and entertainment fields.
