There are many different kinds of robots with varying degrees of intelligence and capabilities.  They are intended to take over the highly repetitive jobs and high risk activities.  Encyclopedia Britanica defines a robot as: “any automatically operated machine that replaces human effort, though it may not resemble human beings in appearance or perform functions in a humanlike manner”.

Robots come in all different sizes, shapes and forms.  They can travel on land and water, swim beneath the surface of the water, fly in the air and travel in space.  They can be stationary as in an assembly line where they add or aid in the construction of something over and over again.

With each passing year and the advancement of science and technology, some robots become more human like and difficult to distinguish from a human beings.  Click here to see a video from 2022 of the 15 most human like robots.

Students are our future.  Technology and robots are a major part of that future too.  How are we going to get more students engaged in learning and understanding robots, developing new ones and applying them in new and novel ways?

There is more to simply assembling a robot from a kit.  How does the robot work?  Why does it work the way it does?  Can it be changed?  What can’t it do?  What shouldn’t do?

Students must also have fun.  If not, there are too many other things that they can do.

Amblit Technologies is here to help each student regardless of age and ability to figure out where to start, what kit to purchase and build… and for those that are experienced what to do next.  If not a kit, then where/what can they do to enhance their knowledge of robotics.
