Zumi Bot

To better understand computer engineering, specifically coding, we built and trained our Zumi bot (as shown in Video 1). It helped us to also wrap our heads around artificial intelligence, as well as how robots with AI compare to robots without AI. It was extremely interesting to see how much easier it was to train artifical intelligence compared to the Tamiya and Redbot, neither of which had artificial intelligence.

However, our Zumi did run into some issues after we built and trained it. The camera wasn't working, which made it difficult for our Zumi to have full functionality. So, just like we did last week, we worked to debug our Zumi so the camera would work again. After finding the issue with the circuitry and remedying it, Zumi was back to full functionality. This helped us to realize that engineers can make mistakes in manufacturing items, but we have to try our best to debug so mistakes can be minimal. This would help us with the Tamiya and Redbot.
