How many degrees do the robot’s wheels need to turn
to drive 10 cm?

How we can we write a system
to make a robot follow a line, given a light
sensor?

Asimov’s Laws
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law
So, You Want to be a Roboticist
Study maths, science, computing, engineering etc
Just do it: Lots of robot kits you can buy cheaply today.
On our degrees in computing (DT211) and computer science (DT228) we do all of the courses to equip you for a career in robotics:
– Robotics fundamentals– Mobile robotics– Programming
Lots of robotics based projects going on
– Artificial intelligence– Image processing
Robotics is strong at the School of Computing at DIT!
