Instructions for the game and quiz- Game- Robo-Physics in action There are two robots that will appear in sequence. There are two options provided for features to make the robot move in a stable and efficient manner in granular media (gravel, sand). Click on the best feature that best suits the robot. If you choose the wrong feature, the robot will get stuck and ask you to try again. If you choose the correct feature, you will see your robot move effortlessly. Quiz- It is a timed quiz with 2 questions. You have to click on the right answer to get points. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to learn about a new concept and present my project.
My name is Hari Gangadharan and my project topic is ‘Amazing physical phenomena.’ Thank you for giving me an opportunity to learn about a new concept and present my project. I have discussed in detail the intriguing and fast emerging discipline of Robophysics and the idea of replicating animal locomotion to build greater efficiency in robots. I have created and drawn all the sprites, backdrops and costumes on my own from maps to robotic models. My project is knit well with a storyline that discusses the ancestry of interaction between physics and robotics and carries the discussion between robotkind and humankind regarding the methodology, principles and examples of physical processes, experimentation and adaptations of real life locomotion and structure of organisms in robots. It also discusses the negatives and proposes solutions. It is a complete project in itself with a strong storyline that includes the past, present and the future of physics-robotics interdisciplinary interaction, in depth content explaining the working on Robophysics, especially locomotion replication, has a game that helps the user think and visualize like a robophysicist and a quiz at the end to enhance our knowledge further. I have placed instructions for the game in the project and also said it in an audio format. I researched multiple articles to understand the concept of robophysics. Please find below the sources that I used to learn about the subject. http://research.engr.oregonstate.edu/lram/biblio/review-locomotion-robophysics-study-movement-intersection-robotics-soft-matter-and-dynamical https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.3691 Physics approaches to natural locomotion: Every robot is an experiment, Yasemin Ozkan Aydin, ...
