The new graduate program will capitalize on the university’s deep expertise in field robotics and its niche in the geosciences and extractive industries.

It's not so much about make-believe but rather robots' ability to continually adapt to new scenarios without having to physically experience them first, the computer science assistant professor said.

Two Mines students were part of the team that developed the first-of-its-kind tangible programming experience for beginners.

Even a tiny shard of paint in orbit can do damage to a spacecraft. The Mines Capstone Design team will launch their suite of experiments into suborbital space in August 2020 as part of the RockSatX program.
