The one where robots take over the Forty Acres 🤖🧡 Happy National STEM Day, Longhorns! While these bots may turn heads on campus, they also represent a thriving robotics community here at UT. Longhorns can join through programs like the robotics minor, which offers courses in programming, sensing, machine learning and more! Check out our robots in-person at the annual campus robot parade happening next Thursday, November 13th from 3pm-4pm! 🤘
