Knol-ontwerp takes the AdMoVeo on tour  with Nerdlab. AdMoVeos serve as ‘de food robots’, catching the attention from ‘Cursor’, the university newspaper of TU Eindhoven:

TU/e’s TUlip vertoont kunsten op Nerdlab

7 oktober 2010 – Mediakunstenaars, technici en wetenschappers presenteren hun werk op het gebied van robotica tijdens ‘Nerdlab 8: Robots on tour’. Het multidisciplinaire festival strijkt zondag 10 oktober neer in Eindhoven, om precies te zijn bij TAC aan de Vonderweg. Onder meer de TUlip van de faculteit Werktuigbouwkunde mag er laten zien wat hij kan.

AdMoVeo: An Educational Robotic Platform for Learning Behavior Programming

This video, made by Sjriek Alers, has been shown as part of a Demo on DeSForM 360, the 5th International Workshop on Design & Semantics of Form & Movement October 26 & 27, 2009 Taipei, Taiwan. It is a compilation of some of the student work for the assignment Creative Programming for designers (Creapro) Showing what the students have learned in behavioral programming with the AdMoVeo robot platform and using the Arduino.

Most of the design students do not have inherent affinity towards programming and electronics. The AdMoVeo robotic platform is designed, purely for teaching the industrial design students basic skills of programming and for motivating and encouraging the design students to explore their creativity with their passions in graphical and behavioral design.

AdMoVeo: A Robotic Platform for Teaching Creative Programming to Designers

Sjriek Alers and Jun Hu

Abstract. Designing intelligent products, systems and related services require the designers to be able to integrate technology in their designs. Among other skills, programming is the key for the designers to prototype and experiment with the intelligent behaviors. However most of the design students do not have inherent affinity towards programming and electronics. The AdMoVeo robotic platform is designed, purely for the purpose of teaching the industrial design students basic skills of programming. Moreover we aim at a platform that motivates and encourages the design students to explore their creativity with their passions in graphical and behavioral design. This paper presents the hardware and software design of the platform, and shares the experiences in using it in a programming course.
