Agenda:
• Define what a robot is and what they are capable of doing• Understand the history of robots and robotics• Describe the various types of robots• Learn how to get started building your own robot• Learn how to create a robotics league in your library

Hello. I am a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer. This is changing, however.
I am sometimes called an automaton, android, droid, etc. I am not planning to take over the world!

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots.

Natural Language Processing
• Car User Interface (CUI?)• Voice biometrics• How do we interact with connected devices?• How WILL we interact with connected devices?
• App based? Too many apps for one device (e.g., Philips Hue)• Sentient? • Hello Natural Language!
• Internet of Things (IoT) will capture, track, and share data• Artificial Intelligence
• Turing Test

Do wearable computers play a role in any of this?

Face Cloning is enhancing the realism of animatronic robots by combining motion capture technology with 3D printing.

Robots are coming to take our jobs. We should be happy!
It isn’t a race against the machines. We will lose. It is a race WITH the machines.
90% of your coworkers will be unseen machines and most of what you do will not be possible without them (e.g., discovery tools etc.).
Robots will help humans discover new jobs for ourselves; new tasks that expand who we are and let us focus on BEING HUMAN.
The fewer humans who touch our cars as they are being built THE BETTER.
Every time you click on a search button you are telling a robot to do something that humans cannot do.
The human assignment will be to keep creating jobs for robots to do. This will never be finished so we will always have 1 job!
