My Robotics For the Streets project has a mission to use open-source robotics to increase diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) by increasing access, sharing knowledge, and lowering costs. The flexibility and modularity of the Flower∞Bots platform means that it can meet the needs of a wide range of users from novice to expert. My hypothesis is that this robot can meet the needs of academics from teaching to service to research due to the modularity of the platform.
