The career path I want to do after high school is a petroleum engineer. I have always been interested in that career because my grandpa and my dad were engineers and I always thought that is a sweet career. I have been good at math since my school career and that is a big part of engineering. my grandpa is a engineer for the state of Michigan designing bridges. He has helped my with that and I have had a lot of experience with that kind of stuff.
If you think that the drill is a robot because it controls its self when it is in the ground. It stops itself when it reaches the oil and then the drill stops and the pump starts up and starts pumping the oil from the ground. The pump has speed control in it so it doesn't pump the oil to fast or to slow it does it at the right speed so it doesn't clog the pump up. That is the main use of robots in that career path which I think is very interesting,
There are robots that are at the General Motors factories that help out a lot they make all the vehicles and keep the people out of danger from the tools and the heavy metal. They were designed to make the vehicles at a faster pace and make a lot more vehicles in a day. Before the robots people were doing it all and it was too much work for people because they were getting pushed too hard but the robots helped with all that.

I think robots are anything that is powered by a motor or engine that is controlled by a person. It can be all different sizes and shapes as long as it is made of some kind of metal and wiring it can be tiny or giant. Some robots are super small that are used for picking small things up and the really big ones are used in factory's and other places that have big items they are making. That is what I really think a robot is.
One real life occupation is car production. They use robots on the assembly line making the cars and making sure they come off in one peace. Before robots were used they had people on the assembly line making the cars which was a lot slower than the robots that is why they crated the robots for the car production industry.
Timeline
1495- Leonardo Di Vinci made a humanoid robot
1801- Automated loom was created
1822- Difference engine was created
1899- First remote controlled car
1946- The first general purpose digital computer
1947- Transistor was created
1948- Autonomous machines called Elmer and Elsie

1963- The first artificial robotic arm is controlled by a computer
1965- Homogeneous transformation first applied to robot kinematics
1970- The first mobile robot controlled by artificial intelligence.
1977- A European robot company, offers two sizes of electric powered industrial robots. Both robots use a microcomputer controller for programming and operation.
1981- Takeo Kanade builds the direct drive arm. It is the first to have motors installed directly into the joints of the arm.
1989- A walking robot named Genghis is unveiled by the Mobile Robots Group at MIT.
1993- Dante an 8-legged walking robot developed at Carnegie Mellon University descends into Mt. Erebrus, Antarctica. Its mission is to collect data from a harsh environment similar to what we might find on another planet.
1994- Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Robotics Institute's Dante II, a more robust version of its predecessor, descends into the crater of Alaskan (USA) volcano Mt. Spurr to sample volcanic gases.
1997- The first RoboCup football tournament is held in Nagoya, Japan.
1998- Scottish hotel owner Campbell Aird is fitted with the world's first bionic arm.
1999-Sony builds Aibo. One of the first robots intended for the consumer market. It reacts to sounds and has some sort of preprogrammed behavior
2001- Built by MD Robotics of Canada, the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) is successfully launched into orbit and begins operations to complete assembly of International Space Station.
2002- Honda's ASIMO was the first robot that could walk independently with relatively smooth movements and could climb the stairs.
2004- Epson releases the smallest flying robot. Weighing 0.35 ounces (10 grams) and measuring 2.8 inches (70 millimeters) in height, the Micro Flying Robot is unveiled as the world's lightest and smallest robot helicopter.

1st. Bio
Stephen Clark a.k.a Spock is a Junior at Mason High School. He is currently taking robotics class in first hour with Mr. Shoemaker. Stephen has had experience building and driving robots in the past. He has done a lot of programming with video games and has even made his own mini video game. He currently does not have a job but he is really good at problem solving and is good at all kinds of science. He has five first place medals from the Science Olympiad. This is his first time taking one of Shoes classes and he wants to learn a lot about how to build and program robots.
2nd Bio
Mason VanDyke is a Senior at Mason High School. He is currently taking robotics class in first hour with Mr. Shoemaker. Mason is 17 years old, he has never had experience with any kind of robots. He has never had a class with Shoe before and he was put in this class but he said he thinks he will like it. Mason has lived in the 517 his whole life and gone to mason schools since elementary school. If he had any super power he would have a long snout so he would have good smell and it would just feel right. If he had to choose between a grasshopper and a pry mantis he would eat a pry mantis.
3rd. Bio
Austin Lawrence is a Senior at Mason High School. I am currently taking robotics class in first hour with Mr. Shoemaker. I am 17 years old, I was born in California and lived in Michigan for almost my whole life. I have had Shoe for a lot of classes and I am looking forward to having robotics class and robotics club later in the year. I have had a lot of classes in the high school and would have to say my favorite teachers are Mr. Chapin, Mr. Shoemaker, and Mr. Filipak. I think this is going to be a good year.
