Test the sound-seeking robot - can it cope with festival noise?
Age suitable for: All ages
Flowers turn to the sun, roots follow water... the robot our students build follows sound! Come and see us to learn about how a machine reacts to sound - can we make it focus only on a very specific sound? Will it follow you if you generate that sound? How does the robot differentiate between different sounds? Come and visit us to learn about frequencies, sound fields, or just to tease the robot!
