Unlike software-only AI tools\, robots require mechanical design\, com ponent fabrication\, electrical systems\, sensing\, control\, safety\, and programming to work together as a single integrated system. A robot that can navigate a room\, pick up an object\, or respond to a person depends n ot only on algorithms\, but also on sensors\, motors\, materials\, control systems\, and careful engineering tradeoffs.\n\n\n\nWhat does it actually take to build a robot from scratch? How do designers decide what componen ts it should have\, how it should move\, and what kind of intelligence it needs? And when a robot fails\, how do engineers determine whether the pro blem lies in its hardware\, software\, or overall design? Join library sta ff for a conversation with Ann Arbor Public School students about how robo ts are designed\, built\, and tested\, and why making them work reliably i n the real world remains such a difficult challenge.\n\n\n\nPanelists incl ude:\n\n\n\nZara Burzo is a senior at Skyline Highschool in Ann Arbor. She has been a member of FIRST robotics team 3322 for four years\, serving as CNC Lead and on the fabrication and the design teams. During her time on the team\, 3322 has qualified for the FIRST World Championship twice and a dvanced to the Michigan State Championship each year. She has co-authored two research papers exploring artificial intelligence and its real-world i mplications. As a student in Skyline’s Design\, Technology\, and Environ mental Planning magnet program\, she has taken advanced coursework in comp uter science and engineering. She has been coding from a young age\, and b egan teaching programming classes while in middle school.\n\n\n\nRaphael F ournier is entering his fourth year on Skyline’s robotics team and his s econd year as team captain. He is a FIRST Leadership Award Semi-Finalist a nd varsity track hurdler and distance runner. Raphael has personal interes ts in computer science\, industrial design\, and electrical systems design . He is currently developing an open-source program for rapid prototyping and mechanism design for his FIRST robotics team\, aiming to make system d esign easier\, faster\, and more accessible to roboticists of all skillset s.\n\n\n\nRada Mihalcea is the Janice M. Jenkins Professor of Computer Sci ence and Engineering at the University of Michigan and the Director of the Michigan Artificial Intelligence Lab. Her research interests are in natur al language processing\, with a focus on multimodal processing and computa tional social sciences. She is an ACM Fellow\, an ACL Fellow\, a AAAI Fell ow\, a member of the American Academy for Arts and Sciences\, and a former President of the Association for Computational Linguistics. She is the re cipient of a Sarah Goddard Power award (2019) for her contributions to div ersity in science\, and the recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers awarded by President Obama (2009).\n\n\n\nTh is event is in partnership with the Michigan AI Lab.\n\n\n\nThis event is for Teens and Adults.\n\n\n\nHeld in the 4th Floor Program Room.
