Cedarville University engineering students developed an autonomous robot called CEDAR, short for Campus Engagement and Directional Assistance Rover, to revolutionize the campus tour experience.<br \/>\n&#8211; CEDAR operates within the university\u2019s Engineering and Science Center, providing consistent, accessible, and interactive tours, especially filling gaps when human guides are not available.<br \/>\n&#8211; The robot has three main functionalities: navigation, communication, and information delivery, helping guide visitors through significant campus locations.<br \/>\n&#8211; The project is led by seniors Mark Freier, Alan Golden, Gregory Rose, and Nathan Steenwyk, combining their skills in electrical and computer engineering.<br \/>\n&#8211; CEDAR combines various advanced technologies, including large language models, 3D mapping, and real-time decision-making capabilities, to provide accurate, dynamic campus tour information.<br \/>\n&#8211; The initiative showcases the power of artificial intelligence in supporting real-time decision-making in physical, real-world environments.<br \/>\n&#8211; The project emphasizes the endless possibilities of AI when applied beyond basic interaction, enabling more complex behaviors and practical applications, hinting at the future of engineering.<br \/>\n&#8211; Cedarville University is a large private evangelical institution known for its strong Christian community, high academic standards, and excellent graduation and retention rates.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engineering Students Use AI and Robotics To Transform Campus Tours https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/news\/2026\/engineering-students-use-ai-and-robotics-to-transform-campus-tours Publish Date: 2026-06-15 08:43:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":231795,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/images\/default-source\/campus-news\/news\/2026\/cedar-858.jpg?sfvrsn=dc54d6db_1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-231793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231793"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231793"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231793\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":231796,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231793\/revisions\/231796"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
