ELECTRIC HORSE AND HIGH SCHOOL ROBOTICS PROGRAMS.

In early year 2000 a group of educators, high school and university teachers, engineers and businessmen decided to work on developing advanced and modern robotics projects for technically-minded high school students.
The following is the list of our projects:
  1. The "Electric Horse" is a robot walking on four legs.
    It can be microcomputer-controlled or remotely controlled.
    It should look like a horse and walk like a horse.
    In the third year of this project, we are designing the third prototype - it is of the size of a real horse.
  2. The "Robot Colony" is a colony of mobile robots that communicate and perform tasks.
  3. The "Portland International Cyber Theatre"
    is a set of walking, stationary and mobile robots to perform plays in a robot-puppet theatre.
