Photos from the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center this week of testing being done on the latest robotic technology available to emergency response agencies. ASTI International along with federal agencies to include NSTI and the Department of Homeland Security were here at the training center to test and evaluate the various systems available today. They are doing standardize testing on the robotic systems to help various emergency response agencies and the military determine and quantify the capabilities of these systems. This testing /competing helps agencies determine what are the best systems for their particular missions and even increases proficiency of the users of these systems. Robotics developers from as far away as Japan and elsewhere around the world are here to participate in this unique event.
The robotics systems included ground, aerial and aquatic robots, maneuvering through special obstacle courses built for this event. Some of the robots even maneuvered through the “Burn House” at the fire training center. Local police departments and military units are participating with their bomb disposal units and NYFD and other fire departments across the country are also participating.

"ROBOT NOZOMI"
His heart is full of gentleness.
She who got one flower from him,
Of the impression shed tears.
The scene which is refreshing like a blue sky.
Robot Dreams is an exhibition that the Museum Tinguely in Basel organized in cooperation with Kunsthaus Graz. Video at VernissageTV: vernissage.tv/blog/2010/08/16/robot-dreams-at-museum-ting...
The title Robot Dreams is borrowed from a short story of the same name by Isaac Asimov. The show brings together works that explore the broad topic of Robots and its association with various topics.
ROBOT MACK THE CAT, HIS LIST OF OBJECTIVES:
• being mini and awesome
• at work: stand on your desk and be slightly jiggly wiggly
• at home: stand on a shelf and be meow-tastic
• make an awesome and memorial geeky gift for a robot cat lover
• STATS: 3.5 inches tall and 1 inches wide and length 2 inches long, colors blue golden faux stoneware finish
MY 3 ROBOT LAWS:
1: Each Robot is unique, one of a kind.
2: NOT intended for children, NOT Bendable, for display only.
3: Not intended for those that do not think robots are awesome.
HOW THE ROBOTS ARE MADE:
Each robot is handmade by me. Polymer clay is shaped into robotic goodness, beads added for eyes and wire woven into springs that make the neck, arms & legs (coiling gizmo rocks/reclaimed spring). After baking, multiple coats of varnish are brushed on for protection and shiny delight.
Ambassador Miller joined 30 enthusiastic students at the American Center for a U.S. Embassy and Robo Lab jointly hosted Robotics Fair to promote STEM education during Computer Science Education Week. Participants showcased their own creations, which included a spider robot, a human intrusion detection system, an Arduino weather station, and an automated street light system, and shared their innovative ideas with each other. Visit the American Center’s MakerSpace to participate in hands-on activities like this and learn how innovation and invention can be used to solve everyday problems.
Put him in for sizing... gotta pull it a part to get him out. Good thing he brought his bottle of wine.
I made a cool and restless robot at Marin MakerSpace tonight, in a special class led by Dave Grenewestzki. This robot keeps moving forward until it senses an obstacle with its sonar, then it backs up, turns around and goes in another direction. It’s actually quite good at this, and you have to chase it around, as it comes up with some very hip moves that’ll keep you on your toes. And it's even more fun when you put a couple of these robots together in the same 'Roborena'. The robot is controlled by an Arduino with a motor shield, two motors, two sensors and two battery packs — and it will keep going forever, until it gets stuck or runs out of batteries. Next, I would now like to adapt a couple of these robots to move puppets on a stage, and see what happens when they start interacting spontaneously.
I really enjoyed meeting and learning from the folks at Marin MakerSpace: they were really helpful and fun to be with — and we got a lot done in a short time: I built my robot from scratch, got it working and took it home in just a couple hours. This is the first regular makerspace I’ve seen in Marin, and I’ve been looking for a while. They have meetups every Tuesdays at 6:30pm, in the Marin School campus in San Rafael. I definitely recommend their robotics class and look forward to going back, to visit or attend other classes. Learn more on their site: www.marinmakerspace.org/

The MRA is the smallest robot arm with 5DOF, a removable attachment, and all of its electronics in its base. Only 3 DOF are motorized, but the MRA's absense of linear actuators etc. allows for an impressive range of motion.
The Robot army continues to dominate my brain! (and my studio, apparently!)

SISYPHUS is a robot that learns to crawl using a simple AI algorithm called reinforcement learning. The robot tries random actions at first and learns if it is moving forward or backward. Over time it connects actions that move it forward.

Daisy was as intrigued as I to learn about the introduction of robotics in dairy farming ... where cows get to choose when they will be milked ... are you ready for the revolution Daisy?

We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help children create their own artistic robots. This class for grades 4-5 is taking place at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are learning how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board.
This photo set covers our our first classes, when students designed their own robots, as well as a magical world for them to live in. They imagined a future space city connected to earth by a long elevator, and populated by robots and friendly demons. They named it Foodville: a peaceful world filled with food, including soda fountains, cars powered by slushies, with cotton candy clouds and a sea of apple juice.
Students created animated characters designed to make their world a better place: two police bots, a care bot and a friendly devil. They can throw marshmallows and cotton balls, to insure a life of ‘everlasting fun.’ In coming weeks, we will laser cut wooden figures based on their designs, and they will assemble their bots, make them move, then decorate them, give them a story, and present a robot show to their friends and families.
Each student received their own robot kit, which they will learn to assemble, control and program. They will then take their completed robot home with them, after the class ends. For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I have created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features at a lower cost.

We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help 4th and 5th graders create their own artistic robot. This after-school class is taking place in fall 2017 at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are learning how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board.
This photo set covers the first half of our 12-part course, when students get to build their robots. Each student received their own robot kit, which they learned to assemble, control and program. They first built a chassis, then wired up the electronics, assembled a remote control, then added a head and arms, with servo motors to make them move.
We then laser cut wooden figures and body parts based on their designs, which included a police bot, a swat bot, a devil bot and a chef bot. Once their bots are designed and assembled, they will learn how to program them and make them move in different ways, then decorate them, give them a story, and present a robot show to their friends and families in December.

Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features, at a lower cost. It was a lot of work, but we’re very happy with the final results, and our students seemed to really enjoy the class. We hope this will encourage other teachers, students and makers to create their own animated characters, for art and technology’s sake.

The Center for Internet and Society (CIS) once again participated in National Robotics Week, organized by the Robotics Caucus of the U.S. Congress and leading robotics companies, schools, and organizations. In connection to NRW, Stanford University held a Robot Block Party & job Fair on April 11, 2012. This event will showcased cutting edge robotics technology from throughout the Bay Area.
