Overview • Collaborative science learning game (SLG) environment with animatronic dinosaurs at the Discovery Science Center • DinoQuest and DinoQuest Online • Collaborative game world for semiconductor fabrication or nanotechnology design • FabLab training simulator for Intel IT Research • Envisioning future virtual worlds for possible cultural and technological opportunities with virtual robots • Intel Research (w/ Linden Labs) • New opportunities for R&D of game-based assistive robotics training simulators
Mixed reality games with wireless sensor network and animatronics for informal science education for K-6 students http://www.DiscoveryCube.org/
Semiconductor/nanotech fabrication training game (including robotic wafer carriers) FabLab Demo Reel
Envisioning collaborative virtual worlds with human or computer-controlled avatar bots (virtual robots) Virtual Life Demo Reel
Research opportunity areas for game-based robotics simulation and training environments • Skill adaptive robotics learning games • Games that “adjust” the level of game-based robotics interaction strategies based on the user's skill level • Assistive robotics awareness learning games • Games designed to help people rapidly learn how best to support a person with assistive robotics devices • Enables end-users and developers to experience role-playing opportunities with in-game non-player robotics characters in application situations that vary over time • Massively multiplayer online robotics learning games (MMO-RLG) • Online virtual world that focuses on providing different support services and learning opportunities for all parties involved in facilitating use of supportive robotics applications.
