Joseph Okor
Schedule: TBD
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Repeating event. Participants welcome at any session
Prereq: None
Have you ever fantasized about having a robot that can serve you breakfast in bed? You can build one by the end of IAP. In this course you will learn how to build robots as simple as an autonomous model car, or as complex as a life-size humanoid. At the end of IAP, we will hold a talent contest for the robots built during the course.

Virtual Community Center

Schedule: TBD
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Repeating event. Participants welcome at any session
Prereq: none
We now have the technologies that enables a doctor to examine a patient remotely, or a student to take courses from a remote classroom. These technologies are not being used effectively because of the lack of the appropriate hardware and protocols. During the IAP, we will build the appropriate hardware, and with this hardware we will work on the design of a Virtual Community Center that will include (1) virtual clinic (2) virtual classroom, etc. This is a multi-disciplinary project that will benefit from inputs from people of diverse backgrounds.
