BEAM robot design is the brainchild of robotic physicists Brosl Hasslacher and Mark W Tilden, of the Los Alamos National Laboratories. This unique design breaks away from the conventional techniques that use memory, programming and state-machines, and replaces it with analog circuitry that function in modes inspired by real-world biological systems.
BEAM is an acronym for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, and Mechanics, which describes the major influences on BEAM robot designs. Tilden introduced a new philosophy to robotics, wherein robots were built to adapt to any reasonably hostile environment. Using neuron circuits, the bot could be made to learn about its surroundings, thus simulating the behavior of neurons.
BEAM robots can be divided into many types depending on the goal they try to achieve. The most common of these are -
Using the principles of BEAM robotics, we can make robots that can climb (climber), walk (walker), roll (roller), etc.
This wokshop session intends to introduce and familiarise the participants with the concept of BEAM robots. The lecture will venture a little more into the depths of BEAM robotics, giving a little more insight into the robotics and physics aspects of the robots. It will also give a demo of a BEAM robot. The hands-on sessions will involve building a simple robot from scratch.
Registration for the workshop is over.
The workshop will be conducted in 2 parts: A lecture and a hands-on session
