Programming Robots to Work Autonomously!
Posted by Lloyd Mitchell6th Grade continues to progress through their robotics unit! We are studying sensors and programming the robots to use them so that they can work autonomously. We began this project by asking the big question of what makes a robot autonomous? As we looked around the room and thought about the broader world, we realized just how many different sensor based items there are.
We have tackled a touch sensor that triggers commands when pressed, a light sensor that allows us to teach the robot to follow lines and a ultrasonic sensor that uses sound waves to calculate distances from objects. The students’ understanding of sensors will be critical for their next robotics project – looking at real world issues and problems and developing solutions using robots. Stay tuned!
