What is a Robot?• Dating back to ancient texts, humans have sought a mechanic or non-human
assistant to accomplish tasks that may be difficult, repetitive or unpleasant.• Starting with early Golems and predicted to artificial intelligence, the idea of
a non-living assistant has always been a part of humanities imagination.• The first robot was introduced onstage in 1921 in Prague, Czech Republic,
during a Karl Capek play entitled Rossum's Universal Robots. • Robots in your household:• Robots in industry:• Robots in this room:• Other terminology
– Autonomous– Self-directed
Robots in the classroom?• STEM curriculum
– Math – most advanced robots programming has a basis in mathematical reasoning.
– Science – generally identified within physical science (torque, movement is gears, levers, other simple machines), electricity, and more.
– Technology – the data storage involved in programming– Engineering – the design and problem solving portions
• Social studies– Look at the historical context– Science fiction (futurism)
• Language– Writing about their planning and discover– Creative writing
• Teacher training & Student build• Content research• Competition• National level only for grades 7-12• Website: SeaPerch.org
BEST Robotics• BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) Robotics
– Middle and High School teams– Design robots from inception to production– STEM research – Corporate design
• Competitions– October 27, Armstrong Middle School, Starkville
