They want to offer help and show people what they can do using sums, equations and functions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a recent afternoon, mechanical engineering student Bojanov demonstrated the robotic arm, a small scale version of the huge machinery used at warehouses to pick up large objects that humans cannot physically carry.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe program the robot to pick up either the red or blue ball,\u201d Bojanov said. \u201cIt has a sensor that can differentiate between the colors in a controlled environment with proper lighting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a skill that pays. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/span><\/a> reports mechanical and biomedical engineers make an average of $80,000 a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One skill that is critical to robotics is math.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caram\u00e9s explained that programming the robotic arm utilizes knowledge garnered in linear algebra, calculus III and a variety of other math courses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating robots shows people that there is a practical use for their numerical knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMany times I hear students say: \u2018When will we ever use math in the real world?\u2019 \u201d said Vincent Bates, robotics club co-advisor and chairperson of the math department. \u201cBut what they do not realize is the programming of a robot is all based on math. Robots are used in every major and all professions, so the robotics club is doing great work to reinforce that message.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cramped room where the students meet is lined with shelves holding incomplete robots as well as bags and bins full of supplies for the club\u2019s projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>TEAMWORK REQUIRED<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The club operates in teams and members have the freedom to pitch whatever idea for a robot they think should be worked on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The structure of the robots are either aluminum or plastic, however Caram\u00e9s points out that during the summer camp, they primarily use plastic because of its flexibility and the ease it takes to be replaced, unlike metals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Club president Wilson, a computer engineer major and Miniel, a computer science major, are working on a robot named Shrek. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shrek is slated to serve as a delivery machine that could aid instructors in the math department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shrek is no R2D2. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The robot is a kneehigh collection of over a dozen metal rods fastened together on wheels. The raw appearance of the device is not important to the team. Right now they are working on programming Shrek. It is currently in the prototype stage and when completed, the Robotics Club wants to take it further and use it to help all professors and use it to deliver students\u2019 schedules and books around the math department office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vernet, a biomedical engineering major, said her group is working on a pharmaceutical delivery machine that can deliver medicine throughout the campus. They are now working on the programming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caram\u00e9s said robots are all the machines we use in our everyday life and those robots would not be here without the use of computations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe working industry is 95 percent used with robots to do the heavy lifting,\u201d Caram\u00e9s said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the summer, the club continues to work on robotics projects and put on the summer Robotics Camp that local middle and high school students attend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without the Robot Research and Development Club, there would be no summer Robotics Camp. Bates said that camp is vital to MDC for attracting prospective students. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When students Val Bojanov, Bernice Vernet, Leon Wilson and Noe
