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.
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.

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.

A robot mod by my friend curiouscourtships, I took the pictures while he was at my house, I do not own the doll and had nothing to do with how awesome he is :D
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.
For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I 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. 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.

Updated photos of robot part storage. About half the basement is junk. This doesn't even include the garage where I actually create my little friends...
Thanks to a series of generous gifts from my family, we have a large collection of VEX robotics bits to play with. This is our creation as it exists now. It's based on the original VEX Squarebot design, but with an upgraded drive system and a bevy of sensors added. Roll over the image for a description of the major components!
Still to come: Bluetooth (thanks, Heidi :)) and a whole lot of programming.
Anyone want to help name it? :)
MOON MONSTERS LAUNCH ATTACK AGAINST EARTH! HOW CAN SCIENCE MEET THE MENACE OF ASTRAL ASSASSINS? NEW SCIENCE FICTION THRILLS!
Ro-Man, an alien robot who greatly resembles a gorilla in a diving helmet, is sent to earth to destroy all human life. Ro-Man falls in love with one of the last six remaining humans, and struggles to understand how his programming can instruct him to kill her while his heart demands that he can’t.
