This SMART Building Houses Robotic Fish and Southern Maryland’s Future Workforce

Tracking drones and robots with pinpoint precision in an open air-land lab; watching students build and test their prototypes in a large project assembly space; creating an autonomous school of robotic fish in a water tunnel – it’s all in a day’s work for the people who study, teach and conduct research in the Southern Maryland Autonomous Research and Technology (SMART) Building, on the campus of the University System of Maryland Southern Maryland (USMSM).
