How are computer chips tested to make sure they were manufactured flawlessly and work properly? How do rescue robots locate injured people in a catastrophe area? Can you actually measure if people are really happy? And what else can robots and computers explore that humans are not able to? In the game „Expedition Informatics at IUB“ the little robot IQ-B/06, who is participating in an IUB internship as expedition robot, will find answers to these and other exciting questions with the help of various IUB scientists.
