The Robotic Futbol Club of Cambridge
January 2006 — December 2006
Competition is an excellent stimulant for great student design in robotics. Supporting a strong student
robotics team internationally not only gives hands-on experience outside of the classroom, it also generates wider interest in robotics
and artificial intelligence. The goal of this project was to design a team of soccer-playing robots to compete with other robots
nationally and internationally in RoboCup and to also create a lasting foundation for an MIT team after its original members have
graduated. The MIT team joined with students from Harvard, and the combined team made a striking “rookie” performance at the U.S.
Open in Atlanta, qualifying to advance to the world championship.

Patient Case Tracking for Home–Based Care in Zambia
January 2005 — December 2005
Over the next decade, 50 million people will die from HIV/AIDS, while the number of people requiring medical
care will become even larger. Sub–Saharan African agencies are already overwhelmed, as they attempt to cope with the enormous burdens placed
on healthcare, which has created increasing demand for home–based care models.
To facilitate in-home care, outdated paper-based data tracking is being replaced by more powerful computerbased
record keeping, which allows for more accurate, timely reporting on patient populations. Working with the 60 Community Home–Based Care (CHBC)
programs of the Catholic Archdiocese in Lusaka, Zambia, the OpenHealth project helped digitize records in the form of a database with a Web–based
front end allowing data entry and record analysis. The combined efforts of U.S.–based nonprofits and local community healthcare have enhanced the
care of over 20,000 patients.
