This fall, Laramie Plains Civic Center (LPCC) staff opened the doors to the building’s often untouched spaces for some unexpected guests—two four-wheel drive, camera-mounted robotic crawlers.
UplinkRobotics is a Laramie-based start-up specializing in robotics tools for building inspections and exploration in tight places. These robotic devices, designed and led by entrepreneurs Christian Bitzas, Zoë Worthen, Brady Wagstaff, and Oreoluwa Babatunde, cruised corners of the historic building’s boiler room and access tunnels. This collaboration between the University of Wyoming (UW) students and the LPCC team allowed for product testing in a challenging environment and it provided a tool to evaluate the state of these rarely explored areas.
UplinkRobotics is a business of IMPACT307, The UW’s business incubator aimed at bolstering entrepreneurs to achieve success and a prosperous state-wide economy. As a home to over 70 entrepreneurs, creatives, and thought leaders, LPCC was excited to open our hidden doors to create growth and learning opportunities for these impressive entrepreneurs.
