HW 10: The "Dustbot" here to do what you don't want to...


So not every robotic innovation is coming out of the US or Japan, in fact there are places all over the world that are leading the forefront in robotics applications.  This one hails from Pisa, Italy (yes the same city with the famous tower!), and is here to do a  job that you don't want to!

First, check out this article to read on Phys.org.  It will introduce you to some important background

Here is a shorter article, but one that includes a video in English for you to watch.  Check it out after you read the main article.

You can go on youtube and check out some other Dustbot videos, but I warn you that many of them are in Italian for obvious reasons, but are worth the images.

Use the standard response, plus include the answer to this questions somewhere: how long do you think it will be until we see a robot like this on our own streets here in Washington DC, and why?

Good luck all!
