They get really excited because they often have little knowledge that such projects exist, and they are in many cases not aware of the potential impact of new technology,\u201d said Henrik Christensen, director of the Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines. \u201cThat\u2019s important because some of them arrive and think engineering is not very exciting. Then they see some of our robots and go back to school to tell others. We hope today inspires them.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENational Robotics Week was established by Congress in 2010.
