      About This Lesson

      At Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, computer scientist Sebastian Thrun and his team of software engineers are creating a fleet of self-driving cars. His innovative approach to artificial intelligence is what makes these cars such a success.

      In this lesson students will do the following: brainstorm a list of inspirations that develop an interest in a particular problem that needs a solution,  make a simple maze that allows a device to navigate as students observe the “tools” the robot uses to navigate and carry out its function, research “motion-detecting” devices that work off of infrared or electromagnetic (EM) waves, and research motion planning as it petains to robots.

      “Science of Innovation” is produced in partnership with the National Science Foundation and the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
