Two main programs for afterschool robotics are botball and FIRST Robotics.

Robotics Robotics has been included in the list of main national R D projects in Korea since 2003.

Now a lot of robotics is very impressive, but manipulation robotics is really just in the dark ages.

This is Chris Harbert from Rethink Robotics.

Another example was a robotics agricultural weeding device.

But let me show you cutting edge robotics.

So historically, robotics played a huge role in artificial intelligence and a good chunk of this class will be focusing on robotics.

The U.S. is currently ahead in military robotics right now, but we know that in technology there's no such thing as a permanent first move or advantage.

There's also a long history of AI in Robotics.

And this is like robotics without wires or motors.

Robotics systems are just incredible these days, absolutely incredible.

So we're really entering the era of wearable robotics actually.

And now this is the early era of wearable robotics.

Welcome to RoMeLa, the Robotics Mechanisms Laboratory at Virginia Tech.

Now imagine all the things you could make from this, not only adhesives, but products in sports, and biomedicine, technology, robotics, toys, automotive, fashion, clothes, and yes, even hair pieces.

I'm at Carnegie Mellon we've got a great Robotics Institute there.

Now there's a huge history of using artificial intelligence in robotics.

And many, many other robotics projects I want to talk about.

And the last project also has to do with medical robotics.

And the field of robotics has gotten much better over time.

Character robotics could plant the seed for robots that actually have empathy.

And we will be bringing robotics of all sorts into the ocean.

We worked with, by the way, Honeybee Robotics. This is the brain.

The company helped the college design courses in laser and robotics training.

I took here a model from robotics it's called the Subsumption Architecture.

So I think robotics and human spaceflight together are an awesome combination.

And what is exciting to me so much right now is that by combining cutting edge technology robotics, bionics with the age old poetry, we are moving closer to understanding our collective humanity.

The Handy Board robotics controller by Fred Martin is based on the 68HC11.

A Windows 7 based Physical Computing PC built using Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio.

In fact, often AI has been studied together with robotics, as one discipline.

There is no generalization at all from one task to another in robotics.

And I went to Carnegie Mellon, and I earned my PhD in robotics.

Now you might be wondering what does cartooning and robotics have in common?

Robotics algorithms for moving limbs and grasping objects use local searches in configuration space.

Can we really scale this up? Can we really embed robotics into every part?

Tesla has over 700 patents to his name radio, wireless telegraphy, remote control, robotics.

If you want to go beyond a tinkering, if you want to go beyond a hobby of robotics and really tackle the grand challenges of robotics through rigorous research we need more than that.

But the robotics part is the hardest part. That's the old brain. That's really hard.

And then I started Hanson Robotics, which has been developing these things for mass manufacturing.

At our lab RoMeLa, the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory, we have these fantastic brainstorming sessions.

We're doing science experiments, we're exercising, we're out doing space walks, we're doing robotics stuff.

Evolutionary robotics (ER) is a methodology that uses evolutionary computation to develop controllers for autonomous robots.

So I wish that I could tell you what the future of personal robotics looks like.
