59. What did we learn?What did we learn?
• Many types of robots exist.
• Progress of technology allows now to build an
Intelligent Robot with Perception and Manipulation
under $1000.
• There are several kits for high school robotics.
• Robotics allows to explain ideas of control, software,
sensors, motors and other effectors, image
processing, pattern recognition, machine learning and
Artificial Intelligence
• Small robot that you can build in a classroom can
explain all important principles at a fraction of cost
• You are no longer restricted to robotic arms, kits allow

60. Possible ProgrammingPossible Programming
ProjectsProjects
• Select your favourite robot: Space, military, medical, etc
• Create a model of your robot: use your knowledge of
trigonometry to describe kinematics of your robot
• Find on WWW a graphics package, you can use AUTO-CAD
with Lisp
• Visualize the movements of your robot using the graphic
package
• Do the tele-remote interface to your robot. When you use the
mouse or joystick or keyboard, the robot executes respective
