Got ‘Bots?

Robots aren’t just for Sci-Fi movies anymore! Let DFTV take you on a robotics tour. Check out these Top Robot investigations:

•   Join Sasha, Makeisha, Claire, Hannah, Annice, and Emily, an all-star GEMS (Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science) team, as they answer their DFTV question: How do we design a robot that moves quickly and turns in a tight circle?

•   DFTV ocean investigators Chris, Cory, Nikki, and Bruce get to the bottom of things with their ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). Their question: What can our ROV tell us about the health of a coral reef?

•   Robot aficionado Karl builds awesome robots including the truly fearsome TurboGnome! Karl competes in ‘bot battles. He wonders: How could I build more effective weapons for my robot?

Meet Robotic Soccer Scientist Manuela Veloso, NASA JPL Researcher Lloyd French, Robotic Research Engineer Ayanna Howard, and Research Scientist Una-May O’Reilly. These super Real Scientists are bonafide robot whizzes!

Check out DFTV’s fantabulous ROV a Fly Sci Game that’ll have you cruising a coral reef, taking pictures of the underwater ecosystem. Say cheese little fishy!
