Robotic Science



2010 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference

The 2010 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference will bring together researchers working on algorithmic or mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotic systems. High quality, original papers are solicited in all areas of robotics. The final program will be the result of a highly selective review process designed to include the best work of its kind in every category. The conference will be single track to allow attendees an opportunity to experience the best research in all areas of robotics. The program will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed paper

Voice-Controlled Robot

A popular idea for a robotic science fair project is to create a voice-controlled robot. You'll need a hard drive to store the commands in the robot's brain, and a microphone so the robot will be able to hear the commands that you give. Beyond that, the options are up to you.

If you want to build a robot on wheels that moves forward or backward on command, program the commands into the robot's brain so it recognizes them (one for forward and one for back, another for left and another for right). Link the motors into the hard drive so when the robot hears and recognizes the words, it will move in the appropriate direction

  • Counting Robot

  • Another idea for a robotic science fair project is to build a counting robot. You will need a scanner or sensing device that is sensitive enough to recognize distinct objects placed in a certain area. This scanner will then need to be hooked into a computer that can interpret what the scanner is seeing. The robot will be using software written in VB6 in order to count each distinct object picked up by the scanner.

    If you want to really add a shine to this project, design a sound program so the computer announces the number of items it has counted once the computations are done.
  • Cyborgs

  • The field of cybernetic technology (integrating machines with the human body) is growing by leaps and bounds. This is especially true of cybernetic prosthetics, such as arms that respond to electrical impulses of the nerve endings in the arm stump. Although building one of these prosthetics yourself is out of the question both due to complexity and cost, you can present information on what a cyborg is, and you can show many of the latest developments in the field. One twist on this idea might be to show famous, fictional cyborgs such as the Terminator or Robocop and point out that these may not be as far-fetched now as they were when the movies were originally made.
