Welcome Robotics Enthusiasts!

​RSSC is an active hobby robotics club formed in 1989.
Our primary goal is to promote and advance the art of robotics and the surrounding technologies by providing a fun and exciting meeting place where people of all ages and from all walks of life, from the novice to the large-brained pocket-protector-wearing robot guru, may gather and exchange knowledge information and ideas.

Our Monthly Meetup @ CSULB!

Please join us on Saturday, May 9th at 10:00am for our next *in person* Meetup!

We're at Cal State Long Beach
1331 Palo Verde Ave., Long Beach CA 90815 
​Come in through the front door, we'll be there.

Here's what's on the agenda...
9:30 am :
The Doors open.  Stop by early and say hi!  Or log in early to make sure your mic works.  We'll be here.
9:45 am :
(Business Meeting)
10:00 am :
"He has the Three Laws, but he can also choose not to follow them?"
Did I take inspiration from Sonny, the robot from the movie I, Robot?  Yes.  Did it turn into something potentially interesting?  Also Yes. 
We'll start our talk by taking a look a models, agents, and benchmarks; Turns out characterizing AI intelligence is hard.
Then let's take a look at a robot mind with two brains.  A primary brain like you're used to, and a second brain that judges the primary's actions adversarial-ly.  What could go wrong?  :-)  (Alan)
11:00 am :
That mysterious glitch you've been chasing through your code? It might not be in your code at all.
In this 30-minute talk, we'll cover electrical best practices for powering custom robots — how to keep motor noise, brownouts, and ground loops from masquerading as software bugs.  Sometimes the fix is as simple as buying parts with protection already built in.
Save yourself the late-night debugging session. (Jim)
11:30 am :
30 minute grab-n-go Lunch Break
12:30 pm :
Announcements / Show-n-Tell / Open Session.  It's a great opportunity to ask questions and get advice.  Our members will bring in their projects and share what we've been up to.  Are you working on something?  Bring it in!
​Join us on Zoom if you can't be there in person.

See you there!
