We would like to extend an invitation to you (and any guests
you might like to bring) to our robot demonstrations on Wednesday, April 20th,
at the University of Florida. Most of these robots have been designed and
built by undergraduate and/or graduate students for the Intelligent Machine
Design Laboratory (IMDL) course. This may be the last ever robot
demonstration day of its kind at UF, but will definitely be the last one until
December 2017.
There will be live demonstrations of about 20 robots built by the IMDL
students. The event will also showcase Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MIL)
robots. See http://mil.ufl.edu/5666/robot_info_s16.htm
for more info.
One of the IMDL robot detects people and asks if the subject if they want a
picture taken; if so, the robot takes a picture and delivers the picture to the
user. Another robot (CATastrophe) finds robot
mice, “kills them, and then gobbles them up!
We will show MIL's PropaGator 2, a robot boat designed, built, and first
deployed in the 2014 AUVSI/ONR international robot boat world championship.
PropaGator 2 earned 2nd place in this RoboBoat competition (after having won
with PropaGator 1 in 2013). MIL's latest version of a robot submarine
(SubjuGator 8) will also be shown. SubjuGator 8 was first deployed in the 2015
AUVSI/ONR international robot submarine world championship. Our
submarines have won three times and placed in the top three in 11 of the 18
years of the RoboSub competitions, including earning second place most recently
in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
You can find an evolving description of each of the robots that we will
demonstrate on the web at
http://mil.ufl.edu/5666/robot_info_s16.htm
Parking information is available at
http://mil.ufl.edu/5666/parking.html
Demo days are very exciting for both guests and media representatives. The
demonstrations will be held in the New Engineering Building (NEB) Harris
Rotunda from 1:00pm until about 3:00pm on Wednesday, April 20th. (The NEB is on
center drive. A map can be found at http://campusmap.ufl.edu/.)
We welcome your attendance!
