Why Surveyor robot? Hardware Motors Powerful visual sensing. Battery Life Robust communication. Does not look like a toy. Looks like a cool robot Acts like a cool robot. Low maintenance! $435 New one: Blackfin $465 Laser pointer Faster processor

Motivating CS1 students using “Surveyor” robot! How do I develop Educational Robotics Software? How do I integrate robot materials to existing curriculum? Is it simple to program? Is it easy to learn? Is it designed to create learnable moments. How can I enforce robust communication? Which (AI CS1) topic? When do I introduce? How many labs? How long is the lab? … Developer Educator

Making it work! Simplicity of programming Robust Communication Robust Hardware Robust Software Absolute integration

Accessing Resources: Software & Labs: Demo! CS1 (Robotics Application) Syllabus: Hardware:
