Forget rigid control—behavior-based robots move with the flow! Each small behavior (avoid obstacles, follow light, chase goals) adds up to big intelligence. That’s how we change the face of STEM, one line of code at a time. #NoireSTEMinist #BlackWomenSTEM #MySTEMIsForTheStreets💡 🤖

“My STEM is for the streets isn’t just a motto—it’s a movement.
I build robots like Flower∞Bot and Harriet Tugman to teach, inspire, and make STEM accessible from classrooms to community centers.
We’re here. We’re building. We belong.

Behavior-based robotics proves you don’t need expensive tech to make powerful robots. Just creativity, sensors, and some open-source love 💻🤖. My STEM is for the streets, and yours can be too!

The magic? ✨ Small, simple behaviors combine like jazz 🎶—each robot behavior is an instrument. Alone, they’re basic. Together, they improvise brilliance. #RoboticsForTheStreets NoireSTEMinist.com/robots

Robots like my Flower∞Bot 🌸 use these ideas. With basic rules—wander, avoid, follow—they build emergent intelligence. That’s how Daisy∞Bot, Rosie-bot, & Lily∞bot learn to navigate their world without a GPS.

#STEMSaturday #STEMSky #NoireSTEMinist #MySTEMIsForTheStreets #BlackWomenSTEM Imagine you’re crossing the street: you don’t calculate trajectories—you just see the car coming and step back. 🚗 Behavior-based robots do the same thing: sense ➡️ decide ➡️ act. Simple, fast, effective.

What if robots didn’t need a master plan but could still act smart? 👀 That’s the power of behavior-based robotics—robots built with street smarts, not book smarts. A quick thread 🧵👇

#STEMSaturday #STEMSky #NoireSTEMinist #MySTEMIsForTheStreets #BlackWomenSTEM Most robots use a central “brain” (think: detailed maps & heavy planning). 🗺️ But behavior-based robots? They don’t wait around for instructions. They react directly to the world through their sensors. ⚡

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation
