Often, hands-on experience is the best way to prepare college students for life in the real world. That’s the goal of the Omron Senior Design and Robotics Laboratory at the University of Houston.
Through its charitable arm, Omron Corp. recently donated money to the Cullen College of Engineering to renovate existing lab space. It also supplied cutting-edge factory automation equipment and technology, such as motion control systems and sensors. The 1,600-square-foot lab is comprised of two rooms that are painted a shade of Omron blue.
