Abe Howell's Robotics is located in upstate Owego, NY and was
founded by Abraham L. Howell. Mr. Howell started this company to
satisfy a need for low-cost educational robots. As a mechanical
engineer, Mr. Howell understands the important role that engineers
play in our society and hopes to spark student interest in engineering
by providing low-cost accessible robots. For more information on the
state of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
education in the United States please follow the links below.
