ABSTRACT
With robot technologies becoming more readily available in classroom settings, we integrated a three week project using commercially available robots as prototyping kickoff project for their year long System Engineering (SE) capstone course. As part of this undergraduate class, students assembled and programmed robots in four teams to compete against each other in the 'Robot Deathmatch Competition'. They were given real-world requirements, customers, materials, and deadlines to prepare them for larger scale projects. The project integrated lessons from previously taught courses into a condensed technology-inclusive experience and set students on a successful path for their upcoming year long projects.

Teleoperated Robot Acting Autonomous for Better Customer Satisfaction
CHI EA '20: Extended Abstracts of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn recent years, an increasing number of teleoperated robots have been used to provide services from a remote location. Most earlier teleoperated robot systems informed the customers that the robots are being remotely controlled, while the customers ...
Interactive Teleoperation Interface for Semi-autonomous Control of Robot Arms
CRV '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot VisionWe propose and develop an interactive semi-autonomous control of robot arms. Our system controls two interactions: (1) A user can naturally control a robot arm by a direct linkage to the arm motion from the tracked human skeleton. (2) An autonomous ...
Introducing students grades 6-12 to expressive robotics
HRI '12: Proceedings of the seventh annual ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-Robot InteractionEvery year, tens of thousands of middle school and high school students participate in robotics competitions, such as Botball, FIRST, and VEX. This provides them with an excellent introduction to the ins and outs of building robots and programming them ...
