<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">We tend to think about robots as electro-mechanical contraptions -<br>
• Things that drive around,<br>
• Things that follow lines,<br>
• Things that Boston Dynamics brag about in their videos...</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">But there are other kinds of robots -<br>
• Robots which are only software<br>
• Robots with no physical actuators...</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">So please join us for this unusual presentation about internet search engine robots.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">DPRG member Carl Ott will describe what happens 'under the covers' every time you use a search engine.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">You'll learn how search engine robots are actually testing we humans!</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Yes - robots are running experiments on us - each and every time we search for something.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">These robots are learning and adapting their behavior based on their human experiments.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Of course - it's only for pure and good purposes - to help us quickly find the things we want (at least that is what the robot over-mind tells us).</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">All kidding aside, this is a fascinating topic even for those of us who mainly focus on physical robots.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Who knows maybe this will spark ideas you can apply to your own robots, or your own robot enabled world domination plans...</p>

<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">After reviewing search engine robots, we'll have a session for open-mic show & tell, and 'stump the club'.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">So fire up your web camera, and show off your latest project!</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Or if you're stuck on something - throw a question to the club - let's see if we can get you good answers.</p>

Dallas Personal Robotics Group has been actively building robots for fun since 1984.<br>
We meet every Tuesday evening (currently by Robot Builders Night Virtual) and every 2nd Saturday, and frequently participate in community events.<br>
We usually meet at the Dallas Maker Space (DMS), but are now holding virtual meetings (details on <a href="http://dprg.org" target="_blank">dprg.org</a>). Guests of all ages and skill levels are always welcome!<br>
We have tons of experience and love to share and trade tips and tricks.<br>
