Recently, several members of our group decided to build robots for the Embodied Intelligence class. Here are some pictures and videos of us disturbing the peace on the fifth floor at LCS!
Nick and Jaeyeon built a robot called Mr. Mallard, a robot that detects its "mother" using a camera and uses the Cricket location support system to follow its mother as it moves.

Godfrey and Magda built a
robot that guards doorways or hallways. When placed between parallel walls,
it positions itself in the middle and waits for intruders to arrive. When
they do, it blocks them ferociously.
