This material is easy and part of it you can read by yourself. When you read it, please think how you can apply these ideas in practical robots. Look also to internet to find who sells these and similar items that can be used in your robot

Levels of robot creation Mechanical Robot Design MOTORS and ACTUATORS Sensor and Vision Internet Robot System Architecture Robot Language Robot Application Programming Robot Teaching Robot System Integration A class as a whole covers all of the above Your project(s) should cover few of these

Humanoid Mobile Robots

Levels of robot creation: MCECSBOT = the guide robot for the dean Mechanical Robot Design MOTORS and ACTUATORS Sensor and Vision Internet Robot System Architecture Robot Language Robot Application Programming Robot Teaching Robot System Integration (navigation) Second hand should be added, head and neck should be added Navigation, Localization, obstacle avoidance must be improved A robot language can be developed or adapted in place of current improvisation Robot safety, reliability and self-test Needs internet link and external tele-control

Levels of robot creation: 478 Nixon Bohr Mechanical Robot Design MOTORS and ACTUATORS Sensor and Vision Internet Robot System Architecture Robot Language Robot Application Programming Robot Teaching Robot System Integration (Kinect control of gestures) Hands should be added Head animation should be restored Navigation, Localization, obstacle avoidance must be integrated again A robot language can be developed or adapted in place of current improvisation Needs internet link and external tele-control Needs to integrate KINECT from outside the window

Levels of robot creation: 478 Countess Quanta = GUIDEBOT = PEOPLEBOT Mechanical Robot Design MOTORS and ACTUATORS Sensor and Vision Internet Robot System Architecture Robot Language Robot Application Programming Robot Teaching Robot System Integration (playing music with gestures) Second hand should also play an instrument Navigation, Localization, obstacle avoidance must be integrated again A robot language can be developed or adapted in place of current improvisation Needs internet link and external tele-control Needs to add KINECT and other sensors

Humanoid Stationary Robots

Levels of robot creation: 478 Marie Curie – Korean Musician Mechanical Robot Design MOTORS and ACTUATORS Sensor and Vision Internet Robot System Architecture Robot Language Robot Application Programming Robot Teaching Robot System Integration (playing music with gestures) Curie waits for legs and lower torso A robot language can be developed or adapted in place of current improvisation Needs internet link and external tele-control Needs to add KINECT and other sensors

Levels of robot creation: 478 Sonbi = Romantic German Mechanical Robot Design MOTORS and ACTUATORS Sensor and Vision Internet Robot System Architecture Robot Language Robot Application Programming Robot Teaching Robot System Integration Hands must be animated It should play an instrument Legs and lower body should be added and animated A robot language can be developed or adapted in place of current improvisation Needs internet link and external tele-control Needs to add KINECT and other sensors

Levels of robot creation: 478 Kuwaiti Dancer Mechanical Robot Design MOTORS and ACTUATORS Sensor and Vision Internet Robot System Architecture Robot Language Robot Application Programming Robot Teaching Robot System Integration (dances with sword) Second hand must be added Mobile base can be added It should play an instrument A robot language can be developed or adapted Needs internet link and external tele-control Needs to add KINECT and other sensors

Levels of robot creation: Rhino = A chemist robot Mechanical Robot Design MOTORS and ACTUATORS Sensor and Vision Internet Robot System Architecture Robot Language Robot Application Programming Robot Teaching Robot System Integration (control by hand gestures) Head must be added It should perform chemical experiments A robot language can be developed or adapted Needs internet link and external tele-control Needs to add KINECT and other sensors

Conclusion on projects Mechanical design is an important component of this class This class is not only programming, you have to pay more attention to mechanical and interfacing aspects of robot design. Robot programming is different from standard programming, it is a real time application programming.

Class information 1.Get key for the lab from departmental secretary 2.Find or create a project group. Talk to other members, give me information on Thursday.
