Showed that the model was reasonably accurate. Showed that the robots could influence the collective decision making process. Fawn . Qiu. Final Project Proposal. Proposal. We have all played with robots, from . furby. to Lego . Mindstorm. , toys are the simplest form of robots. For my final project, I wanted to create a library of small simple robots and put together few instructable.com tutorials to help people make their own toy robots. I think this would be great way for people to experience play, science, and childhood. . Biomimetic. Technology for Active Touch. Tony J. Prescott, Martin J. Pearson, Ben . Mitchinson. , J.

Perform dangerous tasks in toxic environments. Even in less dangerous tasks, human-robot interaction is minimal. HCI research by Reeves and Nass shows that “a social interface may be a truly universal interface”. humans. This research was conducted in order to develop a method of mapping carried out primarily by Lego Mindstorms EV3 robots. The robots were made to use leJOS, allowing them to run Java programs. An algorithm was developed that would make a robot traverse an area, scanning the terrain at a frequency chosen by the user, allowing a balance of speed and precision. One robot can map a flat area of user-given dimensions with satisfactory precision. When additional robots are added, the mapping process is much faster. Based on the number of robots, the area is divided into smaller sections which are then scanned by individual robots. This research shows that robotic mapping systems are viable.. Models.

For . many people it is a machine that imitates a human—like the androids in Star Wars, Terminator and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
