225 Words1 Page

After setting up our team, Alpaca Ex Machina, we set up each member to do different tasks. Thang was assigned the research on OpenCV, Rachel would study control of the motors in Andy’s Lab and Susie would work on the “glorious” chassis. I became the one in charge of the electrical components of the robot. For me to do an outstanding job, I had to first decide on the brain of the robot. For this purpose, I analyzed two of the most famous and powerful chip boards in the market: the Arduino Mega and the Raspberry Pi 2.

With his observation of the invention of Baxter, he is persuaded in a great extent that humans will acquire new jobs as their old jobs get replaced by automatons.
