This figure, as well as many of theillustrations in this paper, was taken from the U. S. DOE Energy Information Administration(EIA) document, Annual Energy Report 20081. Every June, the EIA issues a detailed reportcataloging the energy usage of the previous year. The yearly issue thus provides an easy way toupdate energy usage and statistics. The current and previous editions of the Annual EnergyReport (AER) are available at www.eia.doe.gov/aer.An irrefutable fact is that the developed countries (the United States, Japan, the UnitedKingdom….) use more energy per capita than the less-developed countries (Mexico,Indonesia

. 5 General Description You will develop a robotic system that carries a student s backpack that is expected to contain a laptop computer and several textbooks and notebooks. The robot will follow the student as s/he walks on the campus. When the student reaches a classroom building s/he will either lock the robot in a university-provided locker or carry the robot to class. The robot must be able to navigate on flat and inclined paved surfaces at a reasonable walking speed (up to 4 mph). The robot must be able to have enough on-board power to operate for at least two hours without recharging. Students should be able to recharge the robot by plugging the robot into a wall power outlet. Each team must develop a
