Huge thanks to the Laredo Police Department for visiting our campus today! Our robotics students got an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the advanced robotics equipment the LPD uses in the field every day.
From tactical maneuvers to remote operations, our "robotics kiddos" saw firsthand how the skills they’re learning in the lab translate into real-world careers that save lives.
Nothing inspires the next generation of engineers and public servants quite like seeing a robot in action! Who knows? We might have some future LPD Tech Specialists in our midst. 🚔✨
