Magic with MotionGen: Learn to Design Robot Motions
Empire State Maker Faire 2020
October 16th-17th
In this workshop, students from K-12 and beyond and teachers will learn how to design robot motions using a state of the art app developed at Stony Brook University with the support of the National Science Foundation. Most robotics education platforms focus almost entirely on coding. In addition, they don’t provide any significant design exposure to the students. The tool presented in this workshop will allow participants to learn how to design and prototype linkage mechanisms for creating robot motions.
