#Robots in stem?

based on @ihatebrainstorm designs of them 🎉 love your designs I had to draw them (also plus some of my own interpretations)yay

Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.

"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.

Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.

"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."

Okay this is a huge step towards my goals. What it looks like is just a servo randomly moving but what you can't see in the background is an esp32 receiving a stream from my phone which is connected to an EEG headband. Specifically this is tracking gamma brain waves. The lower the number the less I'm actively thinking. There's a very long road ahead before I'm ready to integrate this into my ears and tail, but this is the first step, and since I'm not a software doggy, it's a big step. Next steps will be to capture the raw data and implement floating point average and servo smoothing to get a more consistent "animation" then it's just up to me to train my brain on how to make it do it's thing.

What Else Can I Do? (2012TMNT MMV)

Moral Of The Video:

Every creator needs different levels of inspiration and pressure in order to churn out new ideas for those around them, but at the end of the day, all creators really want is to have the freedom to create!

Additionally:

DO YOU GUYS EVER THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH DONNIE DOES?

A first-ever stretchy electronic skin could equip robots and other devices with the same softness and touch sensitivity as human skin, researchers report. The e-skin opens up new possibilities to perform tasks that require a great deal of precision and control of force and solves a major bottleneck in the emerging technology. Existing e-skin technology loses sensing accuracy as the material stretches, but that is not the case with this new version. “Much like human skin has to stretch and bend to accommodate our movements, so too does e-skin,” says Nanshu Lu, a professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering’s aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics department and lead author of the paper published in the journal Matter.

I think Emu likes dragging Nene along for "shopping sprees" completely unprompted and without warning, as to ensure Nene doesn't have a lot of money on her at the time and they just end up window shopping most of the time, talking about what they would like to buy but not actually getting it. And then after they part ways Emu writes down all the things she remembers Nene wanted and buys them in between some periods of time to "randomly" gift her out of nowhere

Neen has caught onto this at some point and was at first a bit guilty, but then she always sees how much Emu likes spoiling her and buying her things, especially since she has a lot of money to spare, so she doesn't stop her. Instead she always gets Emu something small she can afford that Emu commented she wants during the shopping sprees

This Friday Molly got to meet a robot! The local junior high robotics team dedicated some time to come to the nursing home where I work so the patients could see their robot and learn about how it works! Me and my coworkers agreed it was a great opportunity for Molly to learn how to function around unexpected things, she did VERY well considering you don't see robots everyday. The team was nice enough to let me get a photo of the bot with Molly, and she thoroughly enjoyed watching it wander around the floor (I let her watch the bot for awhile since it was a new experience and expecting her to focus right away was just completely unrealistic). She was able to effectively task and listen to commands even while watching her environment which is exactly what I hoped for. Great job Molly!

knowing your robotics teams is weeks behind schedule and being stressed as fuck is taking years off of my life

the amount of cad i've done this past month and a half, i swear. also if i hear the words, "the cad is broke" i will combust (can you tell i'm losing my sanity?") also building something and realizing that things are changing and having to take it apart 😭

but i love robotics, it's my favorite extracurricular, nothing beats it 🙂‍↕️

I need ideas. Send me ur ideas for a little knicknack or contraption and if the vibes are good I'll make it for you

we're so back

well... at least on the way back. I have decided my life is much better if I just believe that deadlines aren't real. But I'm gearing up to dive into research! My goals for this week:

⋆ go into lab every weekday ⋆ interact with a robot (or the code for one) ⋆ read the papers cited by my lab's recent project

A new material that moves like skin while preserving signal strength in electronics could enable the development of next-generation wearable devices with continuous, consistent wireless and battery-free functionality, researchers report. The researchers developed the material by embedding clusters of highly dielectric ceramic nanoparticles into an elastic polymer. The material was reverse-engineered to not only mimic skin elasticity and motion types, but also to adjust its dielectric properties to counter the disruptive effects of motion on interfacing electronics, minimize energy loss, and dissipate heat.
