Bow to Your Robot Masters: SolidWorks Robotic University

by Josh on June 25, 2008 · Comments

As if our soon to be robot overlords are not scary enough, now there’s a Robot University for them to systematically learn how to take over the minds of small children and impressionable young college students.

I exaggerate a bit. This is actually a place where the academics and the automaton-interested can gather via an online campus to pursue the dream of eventual human destruction creating neat robotics solutions. Kids… get off the couch.

There are structured lessons, tutorials, event calendars, photos, videos, forums, blogs, chat, personal pages, and instruction for using SolidWorks® 3D CAD software for robot design.

You can get in if you request an invitation via SRURequest@solidworks.com and the robotic counterparts on the opposite side accept you into the collective. If you want to keep you’re distance and just play around with building robotic stuff in SolidWorks, check out all the parts at 3d Content Central that will give you everything necessary to build a bio-mechanical suit able to fend off any type of robot mutiny in the future.

    yeah, I'm sure we'll be seeing game engine support about the same time the robots take over. Not saying it won't happen... just may be awhile :)

    The hardest thing about a robot is the programming not the mechanical stuff.
    But simulating it in solidworks would be cool, but simulating using a game engine would be cooler :)

    I'm betting that the 1st robot that takes over the world will be made by some diabolical mad genius in SolidWorks...hehe
