CONWAY, Ark. (April 19, 2017) – Two Hendrix College computer science
students Eric Huynh ’18 and Lj Leuchovius ’17 presented their undergraduate research

Mid-South Conference held earlier this month at Lyon College in Batesville,
Arkansas.
Huynh presented Real-time Imitation of Visual Behavior by
a Mobile Robot. In this work, advised by Dr. Gabriel Ferrer, he
