Robotics

youtube.com/@Grandpas_STEM_Learning

We live in a changing world. Today more products than ever before are manufactured with the aid of robotics. Robots are the combination of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, or other means, and computer controlled thought. Today most of the thought is a collaboration of many peoples ideas translated to computer code. Tomorrows robots and computers will be able to think and make decisions and do things that the programmers did not plan on. 

Today's robots do what we tell them to do. So, I will ask you "What do you want your robot to do? 

Tomorrows robots will do most everything we can do and what we can't. So how shall we spend our time? It will be a while before robots can tell other robots what to do, so I am going to spend my time telling computers and robots what to do. "HAL". "I will take two eggs over easy, a slice of ham and a tomato juice". What do you want to ask your robot to do?

But where should you start? There is some information online where you can learn how to make robots listen to you. Or give us a call. We can translate your wants into language your robot will understand.
