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.
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? :)

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...
I teach a Lego Mindstorms class at Art Center in Pasadena. This Nick's robot which has a contraption which rotates a marble on it.
The red block on the top is a little motor. It spins a black axle, which is suspended beneath it. The axle is connected to a white circular disc, which holds the marble. When the disc spins, the marble rotates about (although not very efficiently).
We started calling this a "milk shake machine," but then Willy Wonka came up, so now it's the "Everlasting Gobstopper Machine."
One of the other robot inventors in the class asked, "but what is the point?" to which I replied, "why does your robot have wings?"
He said, "but it's a bug?" to which I replied, "well this is a gobstopper machine."
Oh, people and their need for POINTS. Sigh...

The Robot Junior was introduced in 1954 by Otto Berning & Co. in Schwelm, Westphalia. This internationally much advertised steel-camera of the ingenious constructor Heinz Kilfitt had two remarkable features, first a modern type of film advance with double exposure lock and coupled shutter cocking, and second a multi-speed kind of rotating shutter from Gauthier, made completely of metal.
The Robot 2's special feature was the most significant for the whole camera series: a strong spring motor for film advance, made by the Black Forest clock maker Baeuerle & Söhne. That allowed to make a series of images in a few seconds. Maybe this feature plus the camera's robust stainless steel body made it one of the prefered cameras of the German army. Especially the German Luftwaffe owned special versions of it with more robust spring motor and a 75mm Xenar lens.
With the Junior, film could now be rewound into the feed cassette in the camera as in other 35 mm cameras but loses the angle finder and the rewind mechanism of the Star.

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.

Summoner fights! So, I built a lot of robots and a lot of birds. The idea is that the fig in the middle is actually a summoner who's speciality are robots. They have the advantage that if one is destroyed his parts can be used to fix other and that they can mix up. To his right is his boss creature whose speciall power allows him to steal energy (names for each of them in the picture).
Favorite the team that you like the best!
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.

Originally, there were two different robot patterns in Creepy Cute Crochet, but, once it became apparent that this would be too much robot redundancy, they were forced to duke it out for the limited available space. This model lost out in that battle, but has come back stronger, fitter, and ready to rule us all.

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.

Vintage Slow-Scan TV equipment from the 1970s. On left is the Robot 80A camera, with the Robot 70 monitor.
This was "top shelf" gear in its day for Amateur Radio hams to broadcast TV signals on shortwave bands.
It is called "Slow Scan" because each frame took 8 seconds to transmit, instead of the usual 30 frames per second. That's what compressed the bandwidth required so it could fit on shortwave frequencies.
