Rodney Radford will be helping on the demonstration part of the talk. It is interesting to note\, Lego Mindstom Nxt has opensource com ponents abstracting a simple but efficient embedded systems - providing ea sy to use SDK(Software Development Kit)\, HDK(Hardware Development Kit) an d BDK(Bluetooth Development kit) along with multiple programming languages including C\, Python\, Matlab\, Ada\, Lua & graphical NXT-G.\n\nDr. Paul MacDougal will present about Jetbot robot using NVIDIA Jetson Nano. NVIDIA Jetson Nano is an affordable System On Modue(SOM) with CPU\, GPU\, Power Management IC\, DRAM & Flash - a Maxwell architecture with 128 NVIDIA CUDA cores for performance and power efficiency to run autonomous machines\, f aster with less power. It is interesting to note\, Jetbot has a Robot Oper ating System(ROS) port along with a model for Gazebo Robotics Simulator.\n \nhttps://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/jetbot/wiki\n\nSpeaker Information:\n\n Charles Lord PE is the Chair of Western North Carolina section\, a veteran serving for the technology community through IEEE holding multiple positi ons in past few decades. Charles has also led several IEEE SouthEastCon co nferences and the General Co-Chair of IEEE SouthEastCon 2020. Rodney Radfo rd is an expert senior embedded software developer and maker\, Chair of IE EE NC Council and past IEEE RA24 chair. Rodney also leads the Student and hardware competition programs in IEEE SouthEastcon 2020.\n\nDr. Paul MacDo ugal is a Design Engineer in the architecture team of NVIDIA designing and profiling advanced graphics architectures. Paul holds a PhD in computer s cience from Ohio state university.\n\nParking Information:\n\nPlenty of fr ee parking available at following locations adjacent to EB1 Building.\n\n9 11 Partners Way\, Raleigh NC 27606 (EB1 entry)\n\n890 Oval Drive\, Raleigh \, NC 27606 (EB2 entry)\n\n1070 Partners Way\, Raleigh\, NC 27606 (Hunts l ibrary 0.2m away)\n\nAgenda: \n6:30-7:00pm Networking with pizza and soda\ n\nThe times below are approximate and are given just as a guideline:\n\n7 :00-7:10pm News and Announcements\n\n7:10-7:40pm Use of LEGO Mindstorm Rob ots for STEM Education by Charles Lord PE & Rodney Radford\, IEEE\n\n7:40- 8:10pm Jetbot Robot Using NVIDIA Jetson Nano by Dr. Paul MacDougal\n\n8:10 -8:30pm Show & tell by interested hobbyists\n\nRoom: 1005\, Bldg: Engineer ing Building 1 (EB1)\, 911 Partners Way\, Raleigh\, North Carolina\, Unite d States\, 27606 LOCATION:Room: 1005\, Bldg: Engineering Building 1 (EB1)\, 911 Partners Way \, Raleigh\, North Carolina\, United States\, 27606 ORGANIZER:maheshba@ieee.org SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:LEGO Mindstorms Robots for STEM Education by Charles Lord\, Rodney Radford + Jetbot Robot using NVIDIA Jetson Nano by Dr. Paul MacDougal URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/197396 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="post-content">\n<div id="about" c lass="section">\n<div class="nova-o-grid nova-o-grid--gutter-xxl nova-o-gr id--order-normal nova-o-grid--horizontal-align-left nova-o-grid--vertical- align-top">\n<div class="nova-o-grid__column nova-o-grid__column--width-12 /12@s-up">\n<div class="nova-c-card nova-c-card--spacing-none nova-c-card- -elevation-1-above card">\n<div class="nova-c-card__body nova-c-card__body --spacing-inherit">\n<div class="nova-o-stack nova-o-stack--gutter-xxl nov a-o-stack--spacing-xl nova-o-stack--show-divider">\n<div class="nova-o-sta ck__item">\n<div class="nova-e-text nova-e-text--size-m nova-e-text--famil y-sans-serif nova-e-text--spacing-none nova-e-text--color-inherit"><strong ><span style="color: #000000\;">Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Mat hematics(STEM) are simple when there is enough interest and understanding on the subject matter.</span></strong></div>\n<div class="nova-e-text nova -e-text--size-m nova-e-text--family-sans-serif nova-e-text--spacing-none n ova-e-text--color-inherit"><strong><span style="color: #000000\;">&nbsp\;< /span></strong></div>\n<div class="nova-e-text nova-e-text--size-m nova-e- text--family-sans-serif nova-e-text--spacing-none nova-e-text--color-inher it">\n<p><span style="color: #000000\;">To emphasize this key message whic h is an eminent noble task\, <strong>Charles Lord</strong> will talk about and walkthrough effective methods of using LEGO mindstorms robots for STE M motivational education in every level of academic institutions.&nbsp\; < strong>Rodney Radford</strong> will be helping on the demonstration part o f the talk.&nbsp\; It is interesting to note\, Lego Mindstom Nxt has opens ource components abstracting a simple but efficient embedded systems - pro viding easy to use SDK(Software Development Kit)\, HDK(Hardware Developmen t Kit) and BDK(Bluetooth Development kit) along with multiple programming languages including C\, Python\, Matlab\, Ada\, Lua &amp\; graphical NXT-G .</span><br /><span style="color: #000000\;">&nbsp\;</span><br /><span sty le="color: #000000\;"><strong>Dr. Paul MacDougal</strong> will present abo ut Jetbot robot using NVIDIA Jetson Nano.&nbsp\; NVIDIA Jetson Nano is an affordable System On Modue(SOM) with CPU\, GPU\, Power Management IC\, DRA M &amp\; Flash - a Maxwell&nbsp\;architecture with 128 NVIDIA CUDA cores f or performance and power efficiency to run autonomous machines\, faster wi th less power.
