Computer science students will navigate robots through a simulated crime scene as they try to disable mock improvised explosive devices as part of their final exam on Tuesday afternoon.
Some Ontario university students are set for a stressful final examination: disarming fake bombs with robots they’ve designed.
Ryerson University computer science students were slated to navigate robots through a simulated crime scene Tuesday afternoon while trying to disable mock improvised explosive devices, draw maps and describe the area.
The university said the exam was designed to test students on their coding ability, design and improvisation skills.
Ryerson said the goal was to contribute to finding better ways to safely disarm or neutralize bombs.
