The Wandering Campus Ambassador is a robot-like
system to raise awareness of self-sustaining energy
and showcase student's creative and technical
abilities. See Project
Description. The idea is to create curiosity
through a robot like device with a living, growing
and self-sustaining plant. It will wander around in
a nice, slow, autonomous fashion, searching out the
best sun, water, fellow plants and friendly
passers-by. Act as a great (yet very quiet)
spokesperson/plant for the KGCOE MSD, CC&IS
Software Engineering Senior Projects, CIAS
Industrial Design Senior Projects and even the new
sustainability programs being created at RIT. Just
think what a great news story or You-Tube episode
it would make. If you think along the
environmentally friendly side a little, you could
consider some replenishable power sources for both
the robotic-like device and its plant which is not
only along-for-the-ride but may guide the robotics
autonomous decisions in search of being able to
sustain the plant (i.e. water, sun, temperature,
food)
