Robotic Research Project

Purpose: This project will serve to look at the history of one type of robotic system or product.

It may be presented as a document or a Slides presentation. In either case the finished product must be presented in your ePortfolio.

You may work in groups of up to three on this project. If you want to work in a group of four you may, but your group must research two robots instead of one.

Research and present the history of one of the following:

• Boston Dynamics’ Robots

• SpaceX’s Robotics Rockets

• Honda’s Robotics

• Ekso Bionics’ Robotics

• Waymo’s (Google’s) Self-Driving Car

• Recon Robotics’ Scout XT

• iRobot’s RP-VITA or cleaning robots

• Teleprescence Robots

Your presentation must cover the following plus any other information that might be relevant for the robot:

• What is the history behind the company developing the robot?

• What is the history behind the robot itself?

• Is the robot teach-pendant(remote controlled) or autonomous?

• What role does the robot fill that humans can’t? Why can’t humans fill that role?

• What features or subsystems make this robot unique?

Presentations should include imagery as well as video where appropriate.

Please only use your first names on the assignment as the best submissions will be posted to the blog.

All sources used for information must be referenced(cited)
