CEENBoT ™ Educational Robotics Platform Dr. Bing Chen Computer and Electronics Engineering October 27 th, 2008

Goals of CEENBoT for ECE-type programs Attract high school students in choosing to enter ECE as their field of university study Encourage ECE students to buy into their programs with an educational robot that is utilized in multiple courses Stimulate faculty in “freshening” ECE courses CEENBoT can serve as a portfolio of for ECE students and for out of class “fun” activities

Comparison of TekBot and CEENBoT TekBot™ - Oregon State ECECEENBoT ™ - UNL CEEN

5” by 7” footprint DC motors with plastic gear train and foam wheels Compact design Prototype board for use by college students at both Oregon State University and University of Nebraska (to 2007) 6” by 8” footprint High-quality stepper motors for precision control Full suspension for traversing uneven terrain Larger capacity, quick-change power supply Interchangeable rubber drive tires Large prototype board for projects and more reliable connectors Serial-to-peripheral interface (SPI) to allow communication between multiple multiprocessors Amenable to K-16 educational space to meet needs at multiple levels TekBot™ - Oregon State ECECEENBoT ™ - UNL CEEN

CEEN experiences to date CEEN faculty have bought into the educational robotics concept in a NSF CCLI phase 1 grant with the TekBot CEEN students: are provided a robot in their very first freshman course (learning to solder, gaining familiarity with circuit elements and reading circuit diagrams) can do individual study courses to extend their robot’s capabilities beyond their prescribed labs (e.g. robot arm, video camera) have contributed to lab development along with their instructors have designed the “CEENBoT” with a quantum leap in added features “testosterone satisfaction”

CEENBoT Features Robust and scalable mobile robotic platform for ECE programs to take it in any direction desired Base unit CEENBoT can be viewed as a stable power supply on wheels which can utilize RC hobbyist parts Open source architecture makes for a flexible platform Optional GPI board provides for multiple languages for control and multiple audiences (K-12, 4-H, after school)

CEENBoT Tumbles 30ft.

CEENBoT features: now and upcoming All CEENBoTs now have UPC barcodes and serial numbers for tracking Tested: video camera with wireless transmission to a laptop, robotic arm, four-wheel drive version, ZigBee controller Under development: GPS module, Wi-Fi controller (802.11b), interface ports for multiple sensors In addition to base kits with through hole circuit boards a surface mount version is under development

4x4 CEENBoT

CEENBoT: Plans for the near future Manufacturing costs are dropping $275 for summer 2008 NSF workshops for teachers $175 for fall CEEN freshman students will approach $100 (parts and labor) for the next order of 1K CEENBoTs for spring 2009 GPI board will be ready by summer 2009 CEENBoT, Inc. will be formed by summer 2009 to manufacture and distribute CEENBoTs

Next NSF proposal: CCLI phase 2 Due: January 12 th, 2009 Collaborative proposal with selected ECE departments as partners Observe and measure the effectiveness of the CEENBoT at other ECE locations Assessment tools (already developed under CCLI phase 1) will be applied to students and faculty at partnering schools CEENBoT jamboree for partnering schools held annually for most innovative application, best lesson modules for a course, challenge problem

Are you interested? CEEN would love to have you with us! If you have an interest please let Bing Chen know as there are only a little more than 2 months to prepare the proposal Forward a copy of your NSF-ready CV. If you are a Co- PI we will need a list of your current and pending grants through NSF A letter of support stating your commitment to work with us
