An interactive robotics exhibit in the area of mobile robotprogramming education has been constructed and deployed in the virtual world. Asecond exhibit to enable 3D human-robot interaction studies has also been established.Student access, involvement, and collaboration in the virtual robotics exhibits have beensuccessful. Simulations developed in 3D virtual worlds, such as Second Life, can serveas a highly accessible virtual laboratory and can support a variety of educational andresearch objectives in the area of mobile robotics and human-robot interactions.1

The fact thatthis course is offered in addition to the program-required capstone course and taken by over 90percent of the seniors each year testifies to the value that the cadets see in the course.In the past decade at USMA, academic promotion criteria have increasingly looked at researchand publication records of faculty members. Thus, what was once a primarily teaching-focusedschool has began to morph into a research-focused school. With the growing need for modestfaculty research and the absence of graduate students, the development of undergraduateresearch opportunities quickly evolved.

Today it is believed that the onlyway to teach the laboratory class is 100% face-to-face, but there will be a way to plan certainactivities to be done synchronously and others asynchronously.In closing, using the class as an example of the topic was pleasantly surprising.
