263: Experience the Theory

Embedded.fm · 4 Oct 2018 · 1h 10m · Episode 263

What this episode covers

Professor Angela Sodemann of Arizona State University discusses her educational platform RoboGrok, which combines robotics theory with hands-on hardware kits to help students deeply understand concepts like kinematics and control. She details the design of her course, the use of the Cypress PSoC 5 microcontroller, and the challenges of online engineering education, including certification and dropout rates. Sodemann also describes her research into haptic displays for the visually impaired, explaining the manufacturing difficulties of creating resonant microbeam arrays.

    Episode Forty-Six: Carlotta Berry

    Carlotta Berry, a professor at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, discusses her multidisciplinary robotics minor and outreach initiatives designed to increase participation from marginalized groups in STEM. She explains how the program leverages mobile robots and intuitive interfaces, such as PlayStation controllers and Android phones, to reduce mental workload and make robotics accessible to students from diverse engineering backgrounds. Berry also details her work with organizations like Black in Engineering and Black in Robotics, focusing on combating unconscious bias and marketing stereotypes that discourage women and people of color from pursuing engineering careers.

    Ep 324: Ribbon Microphone From A Gumstick, Texture From a Virtual Log, and a Robot Arm From PVC

    Hosts Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos review a week of hardware hacks, including Leo Goldstein’s 6-DOF robot arm built with Toolbox Robotics parts and Clipper motion planning, and a DIY ribbon microphone constructed from an Airwaves gum wrapper foil. They discuss CNC Kitchen’s findings on 3D printing 'brick layer' perimeters for Z-axis strength, Panda Design’s virtual log modifier for wood-grain textures, and the rapid depletion of new old stock Blackberry keyboards driving a new open-source ecosystem.

    Episode 130: Robots learning from humans - Chad Jenkins

    Chad Jenkins, a Professor of Robotics at the University of Michigan, discusses his lab's work on teaching robots through demonstration rather than coding, focusing on dexterous mobile manipulation and perception. He explains the challenge of 'affordances'—understanding how objects can be used—and the trade-off between the speed of deep learning models and the robustness of search-based algorithms. Jenkins also highlights his 'distributed teaching collaboratives' initiative, which uses open-source course materials to scale robotics education, supported by funding from the Sloan Foundation, Amazon, and Toyota Research Institute.
