  3. What is a robot?

  4. A robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial agent. It is usually an electromechanical system, which, by its appearance or movements, conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. The word robot can refer to both physical robots and virtual software agents, but the latter are usually referred to as bots to differentiate.

  5. Who was the first to use the word "robot"?

  6. The acclaimed Czech playwright Karel Capek (1890-1938) made the first use of the word ‘robot’, from the Czech word for forced labor or serf. Capek was reportedly several times a candidate for the Nobel prize for his works and very influential and prolific as a writer and playwright.

  7. Identify and describe the robots who where in the " Robot Hall of Fame" . Add pictures if possible

  8. ROBOT NAME : AIBO CLAIM TO FAME : When the AIBO was introduced in 1998, it was the most sophisticated robot ever offered in the consumer marketplace.

  9. ROBOT NAME : SCARA CLAIM TO FAME : SCARA is the industrial robot that revolutionized small electronics assembly.

  10. ROBOT NAME : David CLAIM TO FAME : David, the mecha child, inspires us with a new vision of future relationships between robots and humans.

  11. ROBOT NAME : Maria CLAIM TO FAME : Maria is one of the most powerful female iconic images in film history.

  12. ROBOT NAME : Gort CLAIM TO FAME : Gort receives the most famous command in science fiction - Gort, Klaatu barada nikto! - a command that stops his mission of destruction.

  13. ROBOT NAME : ASIMO CLAIM TO FAME : the world's first humanoid robot to walk dynamically.

  14. ROBOT NAME : Shakey CLAIM TO FAME : first mobile robot that could reason.

  15. ROBOT NAME : Robby, the Robot CLAIM TO FAME : 1956 movie, Forbidden Planet.

  16. ROBOT NAME : C-3PO CLAIM TO FAME : George Lucas' Star Wars

  17. Trace the origin of Lego and what does the word “Lego” mean?

  18. Lego is the world’s largest manufacturer of construction toys. This one-brand company has its origin in Denmark in the 1930s, and its products are sold all over the globe. It was in 1934 that the company name Lego was coined by Christiansen from the Danish phrase leg godt, meaning "play well." The Lego Group claims that "Lego" means "I put together" or "I assemble" in Latin, though this is a rather liberal translation of a verb form that would normally translate as "I read" or "I gather."

  19. Describe Lego MINDSTORMS

  20. Lego Mindstorms is a line of Lego sets combining programmable bricks with electric motors, sensors, Lego bricks, and Lego Technic pieces (such as gears, axles, beams, and pneumatic parts) to build robots and other automated or interactive systems. It embodies the constructionism learning theory described in the book Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas by Seymour Papert. The first retail version of Lego Mindstorms was released in 1998 and marketed commercially as the Robotics Invention System (RIS). The current version was released in 2006 as Lego Mindstorms NXT. Lego mindstorms can use double motors from the same port which do the same thing. The original Mindstorms Robotics Invention System kit contained two motors, two touch sensors, and one light sensor. The NXT version has three servo motors and four sensors for touch, light, sound, and distance. Lego Mindstorms may be used to build a model of an embedded system with computer-controlled electromechanical parts. Many kinds of real-life embedded systems, from elevator controllers to industrial robots, may be modelled using Mindstorms. Mindstorms kits are also sold and used as an educational tool, originally through a partnership between Lego and the MIT Media Laboratory. The educational version of the products is called Lego Mindstorms for Schools, and comes with the ROBOLAB GUI-based programming software, developed at Tufts University using the National Instruments LabVIEW as an engine. The only difference between the educational series, known as the "Challenge Set", and the consumer series, known as the "Inventor Set", is another included light sensor and several more gearing options.

  21. Describe the major parts of Lego Mindstorm kit

  22. The PartsYou first build your robot using the RCX and over 700 LEGO elements, attaching sensors, motors, gears, and other LEGO bricks. The Robotics Invention System 2.0 includes detailed instructions for building modular "plug-and-play" robots: The Roverbot--a steady going robot that moves around, avoids obstacles, and can follow a line; the Acrobot--a fast moving robot that flips and dances; and the Inventorbot--a smart, attentive robot that can greet you and help you in many other ways. All LEGO MINDSTORMS products work with LEGO SYSTEM and LEGO TECHNIC sets.Contents of the LEGO MINDSTORMSRobotics Invention System 2.0–RCX™ Microcomputer–CD-ROM Software–Contructopedia™–3 Guided Challenges–6 Pro Challenges–USB Infrared Transmitter–718 pieces, including:–2 Motors–2 Touch Sensors–1 Light Sensor
