After months of preparation, the fate of UNLV’s bid to win a prestigious robotics competition is now in the hands, or should we say metal clampers, of one robot.

Robots build cars, vacuum floors and complete sophisticated, minimally invasive medical procedures. But there’s still one thing they can’t do, a scientific head-scratcher that continues to distinguish machines from human beings: While a robot might outsmart a single human, it cannot defeat two.

Nevada leads the nation in drone technology, as now there is more proof that the future of robotics is right here at UNLV.

When you ask UNLV robotics professor Paul Oh how long his laboratory took to create, he can’t help but laugh.

The new UNLV Drones and Autonomous Systems Lab is in the back of a 99 Cents store building across the street from the Clark County Library on Flamingo.

UNLV professor Paul Oh is pleased as they are finally opening the doors on a newly built lab for its drone and robotics programs featuring their Metal Rebel competition entry and many others.

We’re looking at the heavy-duty digits of a Hubo humanoid robot hanging in his UNLV engineering lab, and Paul Oh is trying to help me understand why they’re not as elegant as mine. Yet.
