President Joe Biden's next tour stop at NC A&T was at the Robotics lab where he met Spot, a robotic dog that can maneuver through complex environments to conduct remote missions.
Spot began moving up and down the floor as Biden heard about the robotics work at the university.
"Iguess the point.. More changes are going to take place in the next 10 years than took place in the past 50 years. Technology's moving so rapidly," Biden said.
As Biden left, he told Spot "be nice to me on the way out." said Biden.
"There's a couple of press people I want you to look at," Biden said as he pointed to the pool.
EPA administrator Michael Regan, an A&T alumnus, is with Biden on the tour along with Gov. Roy Cooper, and U.S. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-6th District).

Greensboro was chosen because it "is an example of a regional manufacturing ecosystem that the President’s agenda seeks to build across America to create a globally competitive manufacturing industry that also expands the middle class," the White House Press office stated in an email.
