Your job is to create a robot that could:
1. Go into a room,
2. Find a clock, and,
3. Return within 15 minutes with the time,
4. Without using a TV, telephone, or radio.
i.e., your robot needs to find and recognize a clock and then read
the time. Could you do it yourself? (Of course!)
What would you tell it to look for?
Avoid \"controlling the environment\" which would be unnecessary for you to succeed.
Focus on grappling with the issues of recognizing a clock.
To receive credit you must demonstrate you've thought about and grappled with questions/issues you encounter
(i.e., a single paragraph saying you can't do it won't suffice).
Do not be concerned about how your robot would move from room to room to find a clock.
This can already be accomplished (e.g., view DARPA Grand Challenge and links on next slide).
