Dr. Pearce asked me to do a presentation on Robotics for the Upward Bound student. The presentation discussed a brief history of robotics and the many different robots that were created throughout the history. The use of robotics in many different fields such as industry, astronomy, catastrophes and many others was covered. The student were to work with the RCX robots in the future, so different demos and programs were shown to the students with the RCXs. Also, NXT –a newer model of the RCX- programs were displayed. Students were shown how to use a joystick to control the NXT, by hooking up the joystick to a computer and the NXT to the computer using Bluetooth. Different short videos of robots such as Big Dog, Roomba, NXT, RCX and others also were shown to the students.
The presentation took place at Bruce Trades 226 around 11:00 AM. The students were very interested, and the presentations went well. Students asked questions and were involved in presentation effectively. I talked shortly about Swarm Robotics and my involvement in the summer research at Berea College.
Time: 14 hrs.
