Day 1 (June 18)
Pre-workshop: The first day of the robotics workshop. The workshop will be held in PKI 383. There are going to be 6 participants in the workshop.
Post-workshop: We ended up with 7 participants. Parker, Preston, Connor, Jack, Casey, Alex and Drew. In the first part of the class we went through introductions, had a short quiz of robots in movies, looked at pictures and videos of some real robots. We briefly looked at the e-puck robot and some of its basic functionalities like following a wall and avoiding obstacles.
In the latter part of the class, we started working with the Webots robot simulator and programmed a simple simulated robot called mybot to avoid obstacles using its two front IR (infra-red) sensors.
The students were also given a homework to identify an important real-life problem that could be automated using robots, and suggest the materials and costs of the robot(s) that would be appropriate for solving the problem. Due on Wednesday at 11 PM. Answers can be posted on this blog site. Students are also required to have discussions on each others ideas on the blog site.
