Today was the day of CKSC's first ever seminar about robotics, cool that our class, 3-1, was one of the chosen sections to go and watch it. The guest that spoke for that day was Dr. Elmer Dadios, a professor in DLSU as well as a great engineer that had won a lot of contests in the field of robotics. Aside from the usual scolding and reprimanding of the assistant supervisor, everything was fine, Dr. Dadios explained those cool facts to us and he also advertised DLSU's College of Engineering, etc.
The thing that really interested us was one of his projects, the humanoid robot. Basically it's a robot that could stand on 2 feet, which is a very hard thing for engineers to do since balancing the entire robot w/ 2 feet only is quite hard. So he started out w/ a robot w/ 6 feet, then 4, and finally 2. The robot that they created was called the Quatrobot (if I remembered it correctly), it can detect obstacles, walk (it looks like moonwalking), kick and dance (everybody loved the robot dance).
Cool thing indeed, thanks to Dr. Dadios, we all learned something today... hehehe...
