  2. Outline MiniSumo Robotics has been an important feature of the UNI Physics Curriculum since 2006. Brief History Programs and courses Annual Online MiniSumo Invitational Research and Scholarship Outreach The Future 2010 02 11 John Deere

  3. History (1) Randy Dumse emcees the first (2006) MiniSumo Invitational. In 2004 Physics Alum, Randy Dumse, approached UNI and stated that he would be willing to help UNI get a robotics program started. CS, IT and Physics all responded positively, starting in spring 2006 2010 02 11 John Deere

  4. Programs, Courses (3): Sophomore-Junior • MarkIII Sumo Robot; PWM signal that rotates servo to midrange (1.5 ms pulse width) is documented using virtual oscilloscope in ELVIS 880:154:01 Digital Electronics and Robotics (4 cr), Dumse, Olson Content: Digital principles, and microprocessors in the context of mini-sumo robotics Culmination: Live on the Internet Mini-Sumo Invitational 2010 02 11 John Deere

  5. Programs, Courses (4):Undergrad projects Shawn Breuklander was at Dallas Personal Robotics Group Summer 2008 Robomagellan Competition. Mentor: Mr. Randy Dumse Robomagellan University and club version of the Grand Darpa Challenge Goal: Intermediate robotics program especially supportive of John Deere/Rockwell interests Autonomous outdoor, navigation 2010 02 11 John Deere

  6. Programs, Courses (5): Freshman course • 2006 MiniSumo ShipIn • Builder Dave Bechtold and Builder Mike Boomer (Big Bird) 880:086:04 Studies in :Robotics (1 cr) Audience Applied physics Physics education H.S. Teachers Other CNS majors Student competition winner: A female Biochemistry major both in 2008 and 2009. 2010 02 11 John Deere

  7. OutreachRobotics CampsSummer 2010 During summer 2009, Dr. Ben Schafer (CS) led several Legos-based robotics camps for high school students. High school juniors and seniors Physics: Minisumo, Olson, two weeks Industrial Technology: Different hardware platform, Zhu, two weeks Middle school Chemistry/Computer Science: Lego, Schafer, one week (three times) Teachers One week, Schafer 2010 02 11 John Deere

  8. Research and Scholarship • The annual spring Internet Invitational promotes wide-ranging interactions. Robot on left (ExSpurt) is by Rick Brooks of Fort Wayne Indiana. Curriculum Texts under development: mini-sumo centered electronics course LabVIEW wrap of a FORTH language microprocessor has been demonstrated (Dumse) Exemplary model needed for Robomagellan within academic program Faculty research Promote faculty expertise through project work with students 2010 02 11 John Deere

  9. The Future Matt Karl (below) and Eddie Moldonado, double majors in Physics and Computer Science, are currently active in advancing our Robomagellan capability: Last spring: Color sensing camera Liberal arts core robotics course is proposed A Federal grant request has been submitted by Physics in the person of Cliff Chancey Robomagellan Strengthen as a step toward advanced robotics 2010 02 11 John Deere
