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.

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..

What defines a robot?. Sense. – a robot has to take in information about its environment. Plan. – a robot has to use that information to make a decision.

Magnetic Particle Chains for Directionally Controlled Actuation of Soft Robots: Intellectual Merit Stefan Zauscher , Director, Research Triangle MRSEC, Duke University MRSEC 1121107 Researchers at North Carolina State University and Elon University have developed soft robots based on magnetic field-directed self-assembly of magnetic particles into chains embedded in elastomer films. Using materials with greater complexity allows advanced functions, while still using simple device architectures. In a project led by a REU student, elastomer films containing chained iron Blooshi.

For . many people it is a machine that imitates a human—like the androids in Star Wars, Terminator and Star Trek: The Next Generation. However much these robots capture our imagination, such robots still only inhabit Science Fiction. People still haven't been able to give a robot enough 'common sense' to reliably interact with a dynamic world. However, . Spring 2015. Hard Problems. Hardware. Physics. Materials. Power. Software.
