Individual Assignment: Robot Video
Assignment Overview
Find an online video that showcases a mobile robot in action and write a short text about it. In the text, you need
to describe the type of the robot, its main task and why that task is relevant. For instance, how could that robot
potentially improve human life? Further, identify one major difficulty that the robot might face to reach its goal,
i.e., why is the task non-trivial? or what are the safety concerns? Finally, briefly outline what method or
technology was deployed to overcome that obstacle, or, if that is not clear from the video, name a state-of-theart solution for the problem. You can take the description of the Shakey video as inspiration. Try not to pick the
most obvious videos, you will be given an extra point for originality!
