2015 Robotics Challenge
“Put together a stream of applicable sensor
data of your choice to guide forward
movement or to gauge when to stop based
on danger or impediments.”
LASSIE doesn’t stop, LASSIE goes for help!
Three Laws of
Robotics
[Asimov]
1. A robot may not injure a human being
or, through inaction, allow a human
being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by
human beings, except where such
orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence
as long as such protection does not
conflict with the First or Second Law.
LASSIE’s Laws
• Stay close (maintain communication)
• Check damage to network and humans
• Fetch help
• Remember - In space no one can hear you scream!
Exeter, we have a [silence]
• We explore the scenario of
failed communications between
an astronaut and her human
and robot colleagues. Using a
Lego EV3 robot, image
recognition and bluetooth we
simulate an emergency
situation where astronauts and
robots communicate by
gestures and information
displays embedded in clothing.
