Global News featured a competition by UBC engineering students to develop miniature self-driving robots.
The robots were designed to pick up and drop off “passengers”—in reality, stuffed toys.
“[The students have] actually written the code, it’s on the robot, the robots are running on their own. So it’s a phenomenal engineering achievement for these students,” said Andre Marziali, a UBC engineering physics professor.
