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.

My son, Peter, who is all of 23 months, has been on this robot obsession for months. This August i introduced him to the movie the Iron Giant. He LOVED IT. STILL LOVES IT. He has seen it more times than any other person on earth!
And i had a 12 inch Iron Giant toy that became his teddy bear. Seriously. He adores it. He ripped the arms off it. But that's another story.
And now all his toys that are figures made of plastic are 'robots.' But not "THE" robot. That is the Iron Giant. Or 'giant' as he has taken to calling him lately. No, other robots are "robot guys." It really is quite cute.
Then in the last 8 weeks, he has taken to seeing 'robots' in inanimate household objects. This USB plug was on of the first to be declared 'robot.' And i can see it. The eyes. The nose. The shoulders.
I remember being a kid and always seeing face in manmade and natural objects. It's just the way our brain is hard wired.

La mostra “Corpo, automi, robot. Tra arte, scienza e tecnologia”, organizzata dal Museo d'Arte in collaborazione con la Fondazione Antonio Mazzotta di Milano e con la partecipazione del Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia “Leonardo da Vinci” di Milano e del Museo Cantonale d’Arte di Lugano, affronta con un approccio interdisciplinare il rapporto tra il corpo umano e la rappresentazione che di esso è stata data da parte delle arti, della scienza e della tecnologia, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la dinamica dell’imitazione del corpo (con gli automi) e della sua sostituzione (con i robots).

Just a quick try on an idea i got by looking at this robot toy on my desk. A blurrier background and a better composition would have been nice...

Students will learn how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board. They will then decorate their animated creatures, give them a story, and create a magical world for them to live in.
This photo set covers our our first prototypes for this class, featuring a Baby Angel, an Alien and a Bamboodu native american spirit, in different stages of construction. Students will design their own characters, and we will laser cut wooden figures based on their designs, using the same mechanisms to make characters shake their heads and wave their arms while they roam.
Each student will receive a 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 also teaching a similar class for adults and teens at Tam Makers in Mill Valley, which will use the same robot kit. In just two evenings in late September, we'll show students how to build their own robot with Arduino, make it move, light up and play sounds -- then take it home.
