Mason Autonomy and Robotics Center
11 a.m. - 2 p.m.: Experience flying robotics at the Mason Autonomy and Robotics Center (MARC), where Dr. Ningshi Yao’s students will demonstrate a robotic blimp and explain how engineering makes it possible. Learn about Airborne Robotic Competition, an intercollegiate competition in which autonomous blimps capture floating balls and score through suspended hoops while defending against opposing teams. The demonstration will introduce the challenges of buoyancy, propulsion, sensing, and autonomous control, showing how design, electronics, and programming come together in a flying robot. Meet the students, ask questions, and explore opportunities to get involved in hands-on robotics courses and extracurricular activities.
