Presentation Transcript

1. Introduction to Robots and the Mind Bert Wachsmuth & Michael Vigorito Seton Hall University

2. Robots & the Mind Bert Wachsmuth Math & CS Michael Vigorito Psychology Algorithms and Program design Programming in Java Building Robots Sensor feedback Behavior-based robots Robots that learn Science and Catholic thought Neuroscience Evolution & natural selection Sensation and perception Adaptive behavior and learning

3. What is Robotics Robotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture, and application. Robotics is at the intersection of multiple disciplines A person working in the field is a roboticist. http://www.edinformatics.com/math_science/robotics/robotics1.htm

4. Robot Portion Programming and Building Robots at http://pirate.shu.edu/~wachsmut/ Sample Challenges Self-driving car Move like an Ant Rescue Mission Solving a Maze Learning Robot Battle Bots

5. Solving a Maze Video from https://youtu.be/8L_OvprbBVM - click image to start

6. Robot Battle (Battle Bots) Embedded video - click image to start

7. Real (and deadly) Battle Robs

8. DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) DRC Finals took place in California in June, 2015. Twenty- five of the top robotics organizations in the world competed for $3.5 million in prizes. The Challenges 1. Drive a utility vehicle at the site. 2. Travel dismounted across rubble. 3. Remove debris blocking an entryway. 4. Open a door and enter a building. 5. Climb an industrial ladder and traverse an industrial walkway. 6. Use a tool to break through a concrete panel. 7. Locate and close a valve near a leaking pipe. 8. Connect a fire hose to a standpipe and turn on a valve.

9. DARPA Robotics Challenge

10. Logo Mindstorm EV3 EV3 Intelligent Brick ARM9 CPU with Linux OS 16 MB Flash, 64 MB RAM 4 input & 4 output ports microSD & Bluetooth LCD display, Speaker 3rd generation (RCX, NXT, EV3) 3 servo motors & integrated rotation sensors Sensors: touch, color, ultrasound, gyro Contains about 550 parts

11. EV3 smart components

12. Robots for All Form teams of two or three students One EV3 robot kit per team (responsible for each of the 600 parts) Bring kit (fully charged) to each class unless told otherwise All challenges are team efforts and are graded as such One week per challenge (might require team meetings outside class) Each team must demonstrate in class how their robot solves a challenge

13. A Program Sequence of instructions to tell robot what to do: Written by humans in a programming language Translated by a compiler to machine language Uploaded to robot's processor Executed by robot step by step

14. Programming Background NONE needed (yay) Programming language used: Java All instructions provided online No book necessary but we do need special software

15. Programming Necessities Editor to write the program Compiler to translate the program Uploader to transfer the program Robot to execute the program

16. How to get the Software http://pirate.shu.edu/~wachsmut => CSAS 3085 => Get required software JDK (Java Developer Kit) Eclipse IDE (Integrated Developer Environment) LeJOS (Lego Java Operating System) Homework 1. 2. 3. Download and configure the software Send email about team member(s) Identify all robots in the lower-left portion of each slide (to determine your geek coefficient)
