Though\u00a0he isn\u2019t a human being,\u00a0he is still full of intelligence &#8211; artificial intelligence.\u00a0The robotic dinosaur is named PLEO and was designed by Caleb Chung to look and act like a Camarasaurus. PLEO is being used to teach the computer programming classes about artificial intelligence and robots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope to be able to add to its programming during our robotics unit in Computer Programming 2, and in our Programming Club meetings,\u201d math teacher Suzanne Ostahowski said.<\/p>\n<p>PLEO, much like a real animal, has four stages of life that\u00a0he goes through. PLEO is in the newborn stage when\u00a0he is opened and has to hatch. After two days of proper feeding and care\u00a0he will begin the toddler stage. The toddler stage is a time to teach PLEO\u00a0his name and\u00a0how to stand and walk. Once PLEO is capable of walking on\u00a0his own,\u00a0he will then enter the teenage stage. Verbal commands then need to be programmed so PLEO can transition into the final mature stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now he is in the juvenile stage,\u201d Ostahowski said. \u201cHe can stand, and moves a little but still hasn&#8217;t learned to walk. He is getting more and more vocal and responsive to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The dinosaur has camera-based vision, microphones to hear and touch sensors that give\u00a0him a life-like appearance. He can perform basic functions like walking around a room and moving his head. PLEO can also perform more complicated tasks such as falling asleep, getting sick and displaying basic emotions such as anger and happiness. In order for all of these functions to be able to happen, PLEO has eight tiny computers inside of him that let him process the signals coming from all of the sensors on him and process that data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach PLEO learns from its experiences and environment through a sophisticated artificial intelligence and develops an individual personality,\u201d Ostahowski said.<\/p>\n<p>Computer programming students like senior Rachel Arthur and junior Christian Pirie say that PLEO is making computer programming fun and entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPLEO\u2019s nice,\u201d Pirie said. \u201cHe\u2019s become an integral part of the community in our classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Sara Schluckebier contributed to this article.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The computer programming classes and Programming Club recently gained a new member.
