The Maryland Robotics Center (3119 IDEA) is an interdisciplinary research center, part of the A. James Clark School of Engineering. The mission of the center is to advance robotic systems and applications of robotics through research and educational programs. Come join us to see some of the interesting robotics projects that are underway (cognitive robots, human-robot interaction, surface rovers and more). Please note that we plan to walk to the Maryland Robotics Center as it is just a short walk (7 mins) from ESJ.

The Center for Advanced Transportation Technology (CATT) Laboratory at UMD supports national, state, and local efforts to solve important transportation, safety, and security problems. Center developers and engineers work on information visualization, user interface design, and performance measurement and analysis and develop real-time systems that fuse massive data from millions of sensors across the U.S.
We will see demonstrations of world-wide transportation data analytics and situational awareness tools that will include visualizations of maritime, air, and people movements, congestion and weather analytics, safety analytics, real-time vehicle movement visualizations, and more. They will also take people into their D.C. metro region emergency operations center that is responsible for coordinating transportation and emergency management response for the entire National Capital Region.
Shuttle vans will transport you to the CATT Lab (approx. 7 minute drive) as that location is just off campus in UMD’s Discovery District. We will drop off at hotels (The Hotel, Cambria, the Marriott) after the tour. Please be ready to board the shuttles by 3:15pm.
