On the last I-Corps trip for the compliant grasping technology SRG developed, Gunner visited Syracuse from UNR, joining Wanliang to explore the greater Boston area. There happened to be a provost party at WPI, where Gunner and Wanliang were able to meet with Wole and Nima. All enjoyed the party before Christmas very much!!

SRG moved to SU in August 2019. We are excited for the new adventure.
