University of Southern California The USC Andrew and Erna Viterbi School of Engineering Pre-College Summer Programs - Student Portfolios

Objective

Create a robot to find a person and lead him/her from a room using irobot

Create an arm that can pick up and pour a cup of water into another cup using a vex kit

Create a robot to follow a predetermined path using a lego mindstorms kit

Computer Science:The usage of computer programming to create robots, aids, and other applications. This includes hardware and software, the actual metal chassis and programming. Computers are used in everything in the modern day and programming from computer science controls it all. The two autonomous robots are examples of computer science's programming and hardware.

Biomedical Engineering:: The study of the usage of engineering to develop devices that help doctors or patients. This can involve the creation of robotic limbs, precision istruments, safety devices, to minor comforts. We are building the robotic arm to act as a normal arm would as if a person was using it to replace an amputation.
