Members
from the local robotics community came together on October 14th to celebrate
the Massachusetts and New England Robotics EcoSystem and share their
technology. The event was held at the New
England Robotics Validation and Experimentation (NERVE) Center at the
University of Massachusetts, Lowell, and kicked-off the start of RoboBusiness
2014, an international robotics trade show.
