Robotics 2
Machine Learning - Unsupervised

To complete this lab activity, make a video that includes the following in one video:

(1) You saying your name
(2) A table or other organized set showing what seeds you chose, and which color/shape pieces were sorted with each seed (category)
(3) You rotating a 3D plot of the red and blue points showing which points were grouped with which seeds (categories)

This video introduces the concept of 'Machine Learning', and presents an example problem that we will use in the next several sections about sorting colored shapes.  We learn about the two phases of machine learning, 'training' and 'testing', and we are introduced to two categories of machine learning algorithms: 'supervised' and 'unsupervised'.

K-Means Clustering is one of the most common algorithms for unsupervised learning.  In this video, we learn the basics of how a k-means clustering algorithm works, and we write code in Python to do k-means on our example problem with the color/shape pieces.
