Experimentation
This is the information of year 2016
The experiments of previous year can be found here.
The last week the course is dedicated to experimentation.
This time it is not the result that counts, but your summery of your survey. Document your progress, experiments and design decisions on a labbook. This labbook contains a proposal of what robotics' application you would like to build, and your experimental approach to accomplish (part of) this proposal in the given timeframe. You will be evaluated on your labbook at the end of the week. The criteria of evaluation will be
- Technical difficulty
- Scientific rigor
- Community impact
- Experimental skills
Here are some ideas of things 'never done before'.
- Inspired by the article Dancing Humanoid Robots: download the human motion capture database from the hip-hop dance and replicate some the moves with a Nao robot (standing yoga, fast-arms motion, dynamic walk).
- Navigate with a Hydrofoil drone.
- Think of a good payload for cargo drone.
- Use a race drone for a challenge of the Autonomous Driving competition.
- Make a robot your personal assistant with the API.AI software.
- Make your Nao robot aware when to put up his umbrella with ansi weather interface.
- Clean the house with the Lego Mindstorm EV3
- Make the Nao robot recognize numbers
- Feed the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio with @Home dataset
- Recognize fruit with a DepthSense 525.
- Drive BB-* through the Jakka desert.
- Participate in the Humanoid Sumo challenge
