Since its grand opening, the Robot Studio has welcomed multiple tour groups, hosted by our President, Kate McAfoose, and including a wide range of visitors: high school and college students, local business leaders, and the general public. These tours offer a unique look into how Chang Robotics designs and implements autonomous robots to enhance efficiency, safety, job satisfaction, and more across sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and government.
We’ve enjoyed hosting groups like Dr. Nahshon Nicks’ TEAM NITRO MMA, a Jacksonville program focused on empowering youth through fitness, self-defense, and mentorship. We also hosted an open house for Jacksonville University professors and students, showcasing our innovative robotics work and its potential applications.
