October 28, 2023

In October, scientist Robert Griffin introduced students to electric motors. They learned about principles involved in the operation of electric motors, and about the application and use of such motors in IHMC’s robotics research.They worked in pairs to make simple electric motors using a battery, magnets and wire coil. Discussion focussed on other applications of electric motors, including both common and future uses of this technology.
