Through
Science
There has
recently been a significant increase in spending on robotics related
technologies by governments, schools and private institutions around the
world. This has subsequently caused the market for personal and service
robots to grow at an explosively alarming rate, ultimately creating new
technology clusters, and of course high-tech robot fans. At the same
time, there has been a steady increase in robotics purchases by the
average consumer, showing a healthy and stably growing robotics market.

The 2003 UN Economic Commission Report on Robotics even noted that
robotics was experiencing unprecedented sustained growth, and predicted
a seven-fold growth in robotics markets by 2007, and a twenty fold
increase by 2015.
Robots Promoting
Education through Science (Robot
P.E.T.S.)
is the latest KumoTek
initiative to bring robotics to the class room, and provide students
with the information and tools necessary to compete in the 21st Century.
The goal of the program is to introduce cutting edge robotic
technologies to schools and learning institutions throughout the nation,
educate today's youth through fun and highly practical robotic
solutions, and increase interest in all areas of science, while
developing the minds of tomorrow.
It is no secret
that compared with many countries throughout Asia and Europe, many youth
in America are significantly lacking the training, knowledge and
motivation necessary to propel them to academic excellence in the
sciences, especially math and engineering. Our goal is to pro-actively
address this problem by providing fun and practical hands-on educational
solutions at affordable prices.
We believe that by
stimulating interest in robotics at early age, students will improve
areas of weakness in math and science early on in life, and actively
pursue more challenging academics as they advance through their primary
education. This program plans to indirectly plant the seeds of interest
in robotics, and ultimately give students the skills necessary to excel
in advanced classroom environments.
