🤖 Behavior-based robots: Like a squirrel—sees a nut, runs to it right away.
🧠 Hybrid robots: Like a squirrel with a treasure map—still chases the nut, but also knows the best way to get to all the nuts.

Robots can be smart and quick! 🐿️

Mobile Robotics Navigation
Local navigation = “I’m just vibin’ right here.” 🎶
It doesn’t care about the whole map — it’s all about what’s right in front of its sensors.
Super chill in the moment… but can get lost if you ask it to find Starbucks. ☕

Every time a Black girl programs her first bot, the STEM world gets a little stronger. Let’s amplify that energy.

SONAR! Ultrasonic sound sensors. I used it the most for obstacle avoidance, robot following & more! I use it to teach kids about echolocation, ask them what 3 animals use echolocation to move around the world like a robot with sonar?

🚀 Teaching kids to code open-source robots isn’t just tech ed—it’s #STEAM inclusion in action. From Arduino to 3D printing, we’re building skills and breaking barriers.
My STEM is for the streets. Yours can be too.

🚨 Robotics isn’t just for labs—it’s for the streets! Harriet Tugman, Flower∞Bot, & Rosie-bot are showing our students that #RepresentationMatters in STEM. We’re building robots AND pathways for diverse futures. 🌟

When Black & Brown kids see themselves in robotics, they don’t just dream of the future—they engineer it. ✊🏽✨ That’s why I built open-source bots like Lily∞bot & Daisy∞Bot. Accessibility = equity.

The ROSE-BUD program proves it: mentorship + access + community = retention in engineering. 🌹 Let’s stop talking about “pipelines” and start building pathways. Engineering belongs to EVERYONE.
