Why does Conor Duffy enjoy working with robots & AI?
March 16, 2015
Conor Duffy, senior, is involved with many activities, one of which is the Robotics Club.
This is Duffy’s first year in the club, which is only in the second year of its existence.
The goal of Robotics Club is to design and create a robot that will complete a certain task.
“I got involved in the Robotics Club because I liked the idea that I could think of something and then bring it to life. The idea of creating artificial intelligence was exciting,” Duffy said.
There are several benefits that Duffy has experienced from being involved in the club.
“Robotics has taught me how to cooperate with other people to achieve a common goal because you have to coordinate with the finance team, the programmers, and the people who build the robot to make everything work right,” Duffy said.
He also thinks that the club has allowed him to make new friends and build memories.
Duffy thinks that people should join the Robotics Club because “it is extremely fulfilling to think of an idea and have it come to life. Anyone who wants to learn about engineering and programming should definitely join.”
He hopes that his experiences in the club will help prepare him for a career in automotive engineering.
