Thymio Meets ECAL
During a one week workshop students were asked to develop projects using the Thymio robot. 50 Robots were available. The week began with an introduction to Thymio and its secrets by Prof. Francesco Mondada from EPFL. Students worked then in group with the task to make Thymio(s) write a word, all those words was then put together to form a sentences that you can discover in this movie.
"The good thing about robots is that they do what you tell them to do. And, the bad thing about robots is that they do what you tell them to do."
