Abstract

The IntelliBrain-Bot is a versatile mobile robotic platform that can be used for both undergraduate computer science research and education projects. Our project involves a collaboration between faculty and students from computer science and psychology. Our team created a robotic testbed that mirrors the setup used in experimental psychology research involving animals. A semi-autonomous robot can be locally or remotely instructed to navigate a two-dimensional grid. Users are able to control the robot using a web-enabled application and view its progress in real time using video streaming. Furthermore, video tracking software enables the user to record the paths followed by the robot. Our presentation includes an overview of the system integration to create the testbed for Cognitive Robotics Intelligence and Education Platform as well as a demonstration of the system. We conclude with some insights and directions for future research and development of the platform.
