Students and Teachers watch the robots vehicles race across the desert
Great Robot Race Reaches Sisattanak High School
On March 17, 2011, the U.S. Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section Information Resource Center and the Sisattanak High School organized a video showing of the “Great Robot Race”
The documentary film is about a competition to create a robotic, driverless vehicle. The Information Resource Center chose to show the move because it helps Lao students practice their English and learn about the U.S. technology field, including robot design and the absolutely crucial role of teamwork in creating and testing new machines.
Over 70 students and 4 teachers attended the screening, which was introduced by the Information Resource Center –Technician
The robot vehicles had names such as: Terramax, Highlander, Ghostrider, and Stanley. They were armed with cutting-edge technology including artificial intelligence, laser- guided vision, GPS navigation, and 3-D mapping system.
It was very enjoyable for the audience, including students from different classes and different levels of English, to watch the robots race across the desert. |VIDEO|
