ENTERTAINMENT

• Robots are seen on T.V. (Star Trek - The Next
  Generation) and in the movies (The Day the Earth
  Stood Still Forbidden Planet Lost in Space
  Blade Runner Star Wars).
• These imaginary robots do a lot of things that
  the real ones can not do.
• Some robots in movies video and computer games
  are made to attack people.

TOYS

• The new robot technology is making interesting
  types of toys that children will like to play
  with
• FURBY which became available in stores for
  Christmas 1998 - and continues to be very
  popular.

56
TOYS

• LEGO MINDSTORMS robot construction kit. These
  kits which were developed by the LEGO company
  with M.I.T. scientists let kids create and
  program their own robots.

What did we learn

• Many types of robots exist.
• Progress of technology allows now to build an
  Intelligent Robot with Perception and
  Manipulation under 1000.
• There are several kits for high school robotics.
• Robotics allows to explain ideas of control
  software sensors motors and other effectors
  image processing pattern recognition machine
  learning and Artificial Intelligence
• Small robot that you can build in a classroom can
  explain all important principles at a fraction of
  cost
• You are no longer restricted to robotic arms
  kits allow to build any type of robot.

Possible Programming Projects

• Select your favourite robot Space military
  medical etc
• Create a model of your robot use your knowledge
  of trigonometry to describe kinematics of your
  robot
• Find on WWW a graphics package you can use
  AUTO-CAD with Lisp
• Visualize the movements of your robot using the
  graphic package
• Do the tele-remote interface to your robot. When
  you use the mouse or joystick or keyboard the
  robot executes respective commands
