Throughout my life, I have been interested in technology and AI, especially robots. In the future, our world will be transformed by advanced technology. Although for some people, the mention of AI triggers sci-fi fantasies of robots taking over the world, AI is something that if used correctly can significantly support the human race.
Passion Project – 5th Grade 2018
When I was in 5th Grade, I was interested in how robots work and operate. I wondered about how people just typed on a computer and created robots that can understand people’s words or drive cars by themselves. Pursuing my interests, I decided to build a basic robot with sensors that would use code sent to it and transmit it to infrared sensors on a circuit board which would then send a signal to change the position of the robot based on the obstructions it encounters.
