Robot Art
About a week or so ago, Professor Amy Banzaert - director of the Wellesley Engineering Laboratory - sent out an invite to enter an international competition and several students (we) answered the call. We're building a robot to make art! The 2016 1st Annual International RobotArt Competition aims to foster innovation in artificial intelligence, processing and robotics. Considering that Wellesley is not an engineering school (and doesn't have an engineering department), we definitely have our work cut out for us and must be resourceful in our project. We had our first meeting on the Sunday before March and covered quite a bit for an intro into the area: What is robotics? Have robots been built for painting, decorating, etc? What are our backgrounds? How can we divide the project into parts? What to do for next time? With all of those questions in mind, we are absolutely seeking to grab more teammates and seek out help in areas we haven't touched befo
