Students Show Off Their Robots

The Stanford University class 'Experimental Robotics,' led by Professor Oussama Khatib, is for students who have basic knowledge of robotics. By the end of the course, they are expected to be able to design and build their own robot. The day of final presentations brings friends and classmates together to cheer on the accomplishment of creating a machine that completes a task – or tries to. The robots play games, make art, and try to help land a helicopter.

    00:00:04 [sound] >> Stanford University. [sound] >> Experimental Robotics offers the students the opportunity to do hands-on project with robots. And robots are a lot of fun. [sound] Today is the big day where the students are finally demonstrating their accomplishments. [sound] They brought a number of challenging problems such as landing a helicopter on a pad held by the robot. One robot was playing snooker. [sound] Robots are almost better than humans because they can do precise calculations of the direction, of the impact location. [sound] A robot that is playing Carrom which is a very similar problem. [sound] Another robot was painting. [sound] We saw a robot that can do a sculpture, going line by line, etching wax. >> The 'S' is etched with horizontal lines and we used wax scraping to make the tree. >> All of these requires thinking about a

    00:01:11 strategy to perceive so they use vision, they use tactile sensing that they use fore sensing. [sound] Students come with all these wonderful ideas and they are so creative in conceiving a project that is exciting, interactive, dynamic. [sound] Quite interesting set of projects accomplished in three weeks. >> Two, three. >> Yeah. >> For more, please visit us as stanford.edu.
