LilyBot Bathroom Buddy

The Bathroom Buddy is a modified Lily~Bot designed to help children confidently navigate to and from the bathroom at night or during the day. Using a parent-laid floor track (line), the robot follows the path to the bathroom when activated by voice command, turns on its LED light, plays soothing music while the child is in the bathroom, and then returns to the room when asked.

LilyBot Dance Party

A Premiere to Remember! We just dropped our first-ever video on the RobotDiva YouTube Channel, and let’s just say… things got groovy. Meet LilyBot, our dancing robot who responds to voice commands—and yes, someone asked if she was twerking, and the answer is a proud YES. Because let’s be real: you can’t really dance to Afrobeats without knowing how to move your waist. 😄 This is just the beginning of a joyful, educational, and empowering journey through robotics—where code meets culture, and creativity drives every build. What’s in the Premiere? In our debut video, we show how we built LilyBot using: 👉 Watch the Premiere Now You’ll laugh, learn, and maybe even dance along. 📚 How RobotDiva Works: Our 4-Episode Content Structure Each robot we feature—including LilyBot—gets a full 4-part series that breaks down the creative and technical journey.

Rockets and the Symphony of Planning

If you’ve dipped your toes into robotics, you’ve heard this mantra: Sense, Plan, Act. It’s as fundamental to robots as “Ready, Set, Go” is to a race. While Control lives firmly in the “Act” phase, planning sits at the heart of “Plan.” It’s the thoughtful phase where the robot decides what to do after it has sensed the world around it.
As we learned, Rocket relies on Control to stay on course and achieve its goals. But before the Rocket can take any action, there needs to be a plan. In robotics, this is where the Sense, Plan, Act loop comes into play. Rocket senses its environment, plans its next move, and acts accordingly. This continuous loop allows Rocket to navigate the complexities of space travel. This partnership is where strategy meets action and dreams become reality.

A Story of Balance: The PID Control

The Proportioner pushed against the winds with all her might, her efforts proportional to the chaos. The Integrator, calm and resolute, countered the lingering pulls of the tempest, her force growing with each passing moment that the Heart was out of place. The Derivative, with eyes sharp as an eagle, calculated the rapid movements of the tempest, applying her power deftly to calm the tumult.

A Glimpse into the Future: Our Encounter with Ameca, the Advanced Robot

At STEAMDivas, we’re always on the lookout for groundbreaking innovations that inspire and empower the next generation of girls in STEM. Recently, our founder, Chioma, had an extraordinary experience with Ameca, the highly advanced robot created by Engineered Arts, during a visit to Redwood City, CA. What a perfect match for STEAMDivas to connect with Engineered Arts. Engineered Arts already understands the importance of Arts in STEM and is using it to create the future of robots. An Inspirational Meeting From the moment Ameca started interacting, it was clear that this wasn’t just any robot. Ameca’s lifelike expressions and articulate speech brought a sense of wonder and excitement. One of the most memorable moments was when Ameca recited a specially composed poem for STEAMDivas, highlighting the importance of creativity and innovation in STEM. Empowering Words Ameca didn’t stop at poetry. The robot also offered practical and encouraging advice for young girls looking to enter the STEM fields. This interaction underscored the potential for robotics to play a significant role in education and motivation, making STEM more accessible and engaging for everyone. A Touch of Fun Adding a bit of fun to the experience, Ameca shared tips about exciting activities to do in California, making the visit even more enjoyable. And to top it all off, Ameca surprised everyone by showing off some impressive dance moves, proving that robotics can be both educational and entertaining. The Future is Now This encounter with Ameca has left a lasting impression on all of us at STEAMDivas. It has reinforced our commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology into our programs and inspired us to think even bigger about the possibilities for our future events and initiatives. Join Us on This Journey We invite you to watch the video of this incredible experience and share in the excitement. As we continue to explore and innovate, we remain dedicated to our mission of empowering young girls in STEM and creating a more inclusive and diverse technological future.

Building Our Own Table by Sharon Hurley Hall

This haven will be more than just a lab; it will embody the communal and therapeutic atmosphere akin to a Black hair salon. In these salons, while getting their hair done, women experience a multifaceted social hub – a place for therapy, fashion, shopping, and staying updated with the latest town gossip. We aim to create a similar vibrant atmosphere at STEAMDiva haven, blending discussions on anything that interest girls with STEM topics, fostering a unique environment where creativity meets innovation.
