How can we ensure that our resources effectively foster this educational environment?" In her second blog post about SCI School's new reform agenda, Head of School Sandra Di Rocco focuses on education. Read Sandra's blog post

New lab trains space robots in weightless environments
At a newly opened lab at KTH, space robots are training to navigate in weightless environments. The lab, one of the biggest of its kind in Europe, was built by the WASP NEST-project DISCOWER. The goal? To develop software and hardware for autonomous robots capable of navigating independently in weightless environments, such as space and underwater. Space Robotics Lab at KTH | | | SJTU-KTH
