Requirement
3. Three of the five major fields of robotics
Required
Human-robot interface, mobility, manipulation, programming and sensors. You choose three and discuss their importance to robotics development, either as they relate to one robot system or in general. Pictures or at least one video are required to support the discussion.
Notes and warnings
Note. TWO CHOICES IN ONE PARAGRAPH, AND NEITHER CHANGES WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. You pick three of the five major fields, and you may discuss them either as they relate to a single robot system or in general. Nothing is added or removed either way, which is why this plan asks you nothing here. The five fields are human-robot interface, mobility, manipulation, programming and sensors. What is easy to overlook is the last sentence: pictures or at least one video are required to support the discussion, so something has to be found and brought.
