Last Thursday we had our second general body meeting of the semester, and once again it was a another massive turnout!
Delicious pizza and drinks were served once again while the ASME Officers spoke about the upcoming Career Fair and SDSU Chiller plant factory tour. Then, Bjorn Johnson, Chief Scientist at Johnson Engineering Solutions, LLC came up to speak about the future of robotics and artificial intelligence. He showed us some of his work with swarm U.A.Vs (unmanned aerial vehicles) systems and the components and technologies that are required for their development. He then showed us cheap and effective ways to get started in robotics and A.I. research. Mr. Johnson recommended using the Parallax BOE-Bot as a good starting point for robotics and coding. Luckily, most mechanical engineering students at SDSU already have used one in some way or another, so we are all headed in the right direction!
The second general body meeting was a huge success. Many thanks and praise go out to Mr. Bjorn Johnson for being such an awesome guest speaker!
