Did you know that we will be interacting with robots in our everyday lives in the very near future? Join Professor Weiss and the students of WRIT 340: Advanced Communication for Engineers as we follow the robot through familiar settings like the kitchen, grandma’s house, a local hangout, school, the office, the dance studio- and even Mars! Guess what the robot is doing there. What purpose does it serve? Does it know it’s there? WRIT 340 students: Brooks Defrees, Cameron Durham, Zhuofan Fang, Donya Ghyam, Runshi Gu, Yuwan Ho, Kexin Huang, Daya Jiang, Philip Jung, Yunhaoran Li, Nihan Lin, Anaiya Raisinghani, Nancy Ruan, William Song, Mark Stephenson, Terry Tang, Adeline Vanesa, Zhe Wang, Ziran Xia |
