{{ :magistraleinformatica:rob:rob20-roboticsbasics_handout.pdf |Robotics Basics & Assignment}}

Assignment:
Search the internet for a good example of a robot responding to our definition:

A robot is an autonomous system
which exists in the physical world,
can sense its environment,
and can act on it to achieve some goals

(It can be done in small groups of two students)

Next next class (Monday February 24):
  * Present your robot with few slides (including pictures)
  * Explain how it responds to the definition
  * Show its main components
  * If bioinspired, explain why/how/where
