Filament Games turns robotics into virtual reality
Robotics can be cool — and understandable — even if you’re not an engineer.
And if you learn how to control robots, you could beat the odds of having a robot take over your job some day.
That’s one of the messages of RoboCo, a project by Madison educational games development company Filament Games that’s drawing nearly $1 million in grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
It’s not meant to replace the physical act of piecing parts together and wiring circuitry but instead, to present an entrée to the concept of robotics.
Filament received a $225,000 grant to build a prototype in VR format and was recently notified the company has qualified for a phase 2, $750,000 grant to complete the project.
