The First Robot Olympics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/first-robot-olympics )〕 took place in Glasgow,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://glasgowliving.today/top5/glasgows-guinness-world-records/ )〕 Scotland on September 27–28, 1990. The event was run by The Turing Institute at the Sports Centre at the University of Strathclyde. It featured 68 robots from 12 different countries and involved over 2,500 visitors over the two day period. == Background == During the 1980's the Turing Institute had been involved in a wide range of robotics activities and had developed links with many leading robotics laboratories as a result of both student exchange and a series of collaborative research projects. The event was conceived and directed by Dr Peter Mowforth, Director of the Turing Institute, as an events-based meetup for robot enthusiasts and builders. Although there had been single event competitions and national events for competing robots, this was the first time that such a large, varied and international Robot Competition had taken place. Many of the robots that came to the event reflected key research themes that were present at the time. For example, the two-wheeled balancing 'torch carrying' (pre-Segway) robot〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/344227/view )〕 that opened the event was associated with the Institute's work on using machine learning applied to the inverted pendulum Strathclyde University was an academic associate of and adjacent to the Turing Institute. The University made their sports hall complex available for the two day event. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「First Robot Olympics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
