Resources
The project is being developed within the Cognitive Robotics Group of the Research and Development in Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (LIDIA) of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Universidad Nacional del Sur.
The selected
robotic kit for the development of the robots is Lego Mindstorms™ (www.legomindstorms.com).
Our funding for equipment and travel expenses comes from an ACM grant, offered
to us by Dr. Elizabeth Sklar (sklar@cs.columbia.edu)
of
The following are some preliminary designs for our robots:
Acknowledgements
We are very thankful to Dr. Elizabeth Sklar, who offered us a grant from ACM to cover the expenses for equipment and travel to the competition. We are also thankful to the Columbia University ELeague Team (Elizabeth Sklar, Jake Porway, and Gaurav Singal) for offering their help with setting up our team.
We are also thankful to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Universidad Nacional del Sur for their support.
