This video shows interactions with our ALERT (Active Learning Environment with Robotic Tangibles) robot at the 2008 Sally Ride Festival on the campus of Arizona State University. The robot uses the Reactivision computer vision system to recognize symbols and then responds by running computer code corresponding to the symbols. The robot is a "Create" robot from iRobot. This project is from the Arts, Media and Engineering program at Arizona State University.
iRobot Create robots are easily programmable and expandable in their functionality, but can only travel on a very limited varieties of terrain (carpet, hard flat floors and other typical interior domestic surfaces). As part of the Arts, Media and Engineering program we are working on systems related to the Mars exploration rovers. To teach about these systems and allow students to test and explore terrain navigation and mapping with robots, we needed robots with expanded terrain navigation cap...
Each week, the Arts Media and Engineering program at Arizona State University invites a leading researcher/creative practitioner to complete a two-day residence, working with students and faculty within the program. The Friday Afternoon Club brings students and faculty from across disciplines to listen to the week's guest share a one-hour presentation.Fernanda B. Viegas, MIT Media Lab alumni and current IBM researcher, shared her work on Many Eyes, a collaborative online data visualization too...
