Participants will learn the magic behind making robotics appear to have human characteristics. Pairs of participants will start by building a basic mobile robot and use it as a tool to understand the Guided User Interface (GUI) software programming interface. Next, pairs will systematically incorporate four different robotic sensors on the mobile robot. Challenges for each sensor added will be provided. Finally, pairs will choose a non-mobile robot and create an interactive robot model (maybe a puppy, color sorter, robotic arm, etc.) to share in show and tell near the end of the workshop. The workshop is ideal for those interested in the annual FLL/RCX robotics competitions. Learn more at USFirst.org or rcxrobot.org. The FLL competition is held in December and the RCX competition is held March each year on the WKCTC campus.
