The Marine Robotics Team invites you to join us in creating autonomous underwater robots. Students will work in small groups to design and build an underwater robot capable of autonomous navigation and maneuvering in a pool environment. Learn how to program behavioral algorithms, use a variety of sensors and fabricate viable underwater structures. At the end of IAP an event will be held at an MIT pool for students to test their robots on an underwater course while friends and faculty watch. Scheduling will be flexible, but plan on committing at least 5 hours per week.
Meetings 1/12/11-1/27/11 on Wed. 7-10pm, Thurs. 5-8pm, Fri. 11am-2pm, and Sun. 4-7pm. The final event is on 1/28.
