VEX Robotics’ Post

Are you going to the Georgia Mathematics Conference? While you’re there, check out Knowles Senior Fellow, Mandi Dean’s Presentation “Robot Ruckus! Mathematical Learning Through VEX Robotics”, October 17, 2024 at 1pm! In this session, you will explore ways that robotics principles related to engineering and programming can provide students with opportunities to learn mathematical concepts in an applied setting. You will also discuss strategies for getting started with VEX robotics. Let us know what you think about the presentation! #knowlesteachers #GMC2024

I am excited to share a new blog post about Robotics 101 at the University of Michigan. This course offers a unique perspective by utilizing applied numerical linear algebra as a foundation for introducing linear algebra concepts. Students will not only gain essential mathematical skills but also understand their practical applications in the field of robotics. This engaging and informative approach is designed to equip learners with the tools necessary to excel in the rapidly evolving world of robotics. To explore the key details and benefits of this course, please read the full post here: [Robotics 101 at UMich](https://ift.tt/DTQZplo).

Giving our children the best opportunities in life is every parent's top priority. Robotics can be an excellent way to get kids interested in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) from an early age. This cutting-edge field allows kids to develop a wide range of valuable skills in an engaging, hands-on way. Here are 5 compelling reasons why you should get your child involved in robotics.

Calling all robotics enthusiasts and aspiring engineers! The University of Michigan just dropped a game-changing graduate-level mathematics course that's about to level up your technical skills. Dive deep into advanced mathematical concepts like vector spaces, Kalman filtering, and nonlinear optimization—the secret sauce behind cutting-edge robotic systems. Whether you're dreaming of designing autonomous vehicles or next-gen robotic assistants, this comprehensive resource is your ultimate learning playground. Unlock the mathematical foundations that transform theoretical concepts into real-world robotic innovations. #Tutorial #GetVM #Programming #UniversityCourses

How do "People for Others" learn to solder? Why, creating Accessible Tech & Light-Touch Switches for use by persons with physical challenges. The 3D-printed / soldered switches were created by everyone in Boston College's "Physical Computing: Art, Robotics, and Tech for Good." The toy starts playing after a light tab of the remote button. The Hatchery Makerspaces at Boston College in action. Soar! 🦅

We had a tremendous turnout for our surgical robotics open house! More than 100 students as well as community members, providers and colleagues were able to get a unique, firsthand experience with our incredible healthcare technology. These robotics are truly making a difference for our patients. Students from Oregon, Fruitland, Caldwell, Vallivue, College of Idaho, CWI and more stopped by to try out the robotics. Here's what one teacher had to say: "It means a lot that West Valley takes the time to support, educate and invest in the next generation of future health professionals."

Another post in regards our exciting #robotics module at the School of Computing and Digital Technologies Sheffield Hallam University. Thanks to VEX Robotics we have a couple of new toys to trial. Looking forward to how Sheffield Hallam University Computer Science and Sheffield Hallam University Software Engineering students put these to use!

The robot in the Maze Runner project uses an advanced pathfinding technique known as the A* (A-star) algorithm. This method efficiently determines the shortest route through the maze by combining elements of best-first search and Dijkstra's algorithm, striking a balance between exploration and proximity to the goal. This project was developed by our students as part of their coding and robotics training. Interested in partnering with Nigenuis? Visit https://lnkd.in/deQtibwp to learn more!

We wrapped up the Modern Robotics I class at Saint Louis University with the last project of the semester, where students used numerical screw-theory-based inverse kinematics with camera feedback and ROS2 to control a robot arm to pick and place different clusters with different colors. The implementation I attach here is Michael and Joshua's work. They deserve extra credit for their sense of humor and their video-making skills. Bloopers are also at the end. Also, shout out to Guangping and Jake for writing code to do camera topic remappings to fix the bugs in the perception package, which saved me a ton of time to do it myself. Also for those students who want to repeat the project for their own learning, here is your guide: https://lnkd.in/g6rg2z_p #screwtheory #numericalinversekinematics #ros2 #visionbasedcontrol #SLU #saintlouisuniversity
