Kassie Perlongo’s insight:
Umuliisa said showcasing emerging technologies like the robots opens people’s eyes to a wider view and be able to think outside the box.
“The role of the museum toward showcasing these innovative technologies is to bring knowledge among people and force them to think differently on how they can make money, for instance, without using traditional ways,” he added.
How inspiring! Robotics bringing people together in a valuable way.
