What is a robot? • 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.
Robot History The first robot was invented in about 270 BC by a Greek engineer. He made organs and water clocks with movable parts.
Robot ideas • I would like our robot to have wheels and be solar or battery powered. • With a budget of $25 we are limited to the actions our robot can perform.
This is an inexpensive robot kit that I found. We could maybe have a design similar to this maybe with a plow on the front, or even shoot an object out of the top of it.
