For Han, the goal is not just to teach technical skills, but to instill a mindset of exploration. “This is the discovery process in its purest form,” he says, emphasizing that students learn best when they are free to experiment and solve problems in creative ways. The students themselves drive the innovation, iterating on their designs through trial and error.
One standout project involves robots capable of autonomously avoiding obstacles. This type of hands-on project simulates real-world applications, where drones and robots equipped with advanced sensors, like lidar, need to navigate challenging terrain safely. “We want them to experience the problem-solving and the learning that comes from failure, as well as success,” Han explains.
This experiential learning model not only enhances students’ understanding of robotics but also prepares them for the next generation of technological challenges. By fostering collaboration and resilience, Han’s approach equips students to lead in the evolving field of robotics.
Clark’s robotics lab is more than just a space for learning; it’s a place where the next wave of innovators is discovering the future of technology through experimentation and creative problem-solving.
