Science Center Lobby & Ground Floor
Electronics and Robotics Show
Students in the Electronics class taught by Professor John
Buschert spent the last month of the class on a project.
Each project uses the popular Arduino microcontroller board
that is programmed in C, can be connected to a variety of
sensors, and can control motors, lights, sounds and other
outputs. See what creative projects they have come up
with.
Control a tiny drone just by moving your hand around. Try
out a rangefinder for the blind. Watch a robot locate and
grab a ball and move it to a designated spot. It's the GC
Electronics and Robotics show that happens only every two
years. Watch as a base moves around to keep a vertical
stick balanced, even when you disturb it. See the scooter
balance itself and drive down the hallway. See a robot with
ultrasonic rangefinders navigate its way through obstacles.
Take a fun break from your studies on Reading Day to roll a
ball toward the "soccer player" and watch it move to
intercept and kick it toward a target. Come see what these
students have been working on for the last month and be
amazed. It all happens in the Science Hall Lobby and ground
floor, Monday December 9, 2-4 pm.
