Eric Lundquist prepares Babbling Head for Austin Public Library presentation

On July 07, 2004, then-President Eric Lundquist presented at the Manchaca Road Branch of the Austin Public Library as part of their Wired for Youth Summer Reading Program.

Eric demonstrated several robots for an enthusiastic audience of kids and parents. Babbling Head recited a short story and sand several songs. The Compubotics CR01 robot explored the floors and table tops. The P5 Glove, a virtual reality glove, was a huge hit!
