Today’s video is about robots and rock stars. At least the robot creators are “rock stars on their campus”, and they’re all women.
They’re known as the Spelbots: a team of computer scientists and engineers who build robots to compete in Robocups (the World Cup of robot soccer).
According to their mentor, Andrew Williams, their biggest strengths lie in “teamwork, collaboration, and the social aspects of engineering”. It culminated in a trip to the RoboCup Japan Open Finals (Osaka, 2009) where they lost on penalties.
PS: Check out Mr Roboto Charles’ dance moves at the 2:16 mark.
First-ever, all female, African-American RoboCup team has global impact. Professor Andrew Williams often tries to recruit undecided majors to Spelman College's computer science and dual degree engineering departments by showing off some cute and versatile robots.
