Introduction to Robotics & Autonomous Car Design
Requirements
- This is an introductory class and no prior knowledge of Robotics, Engineering, or Programming is required.
In this course you will learn the basics of Robotics, Computer Programming, and Electronics by experimenting with a variety of sensors, motors, and other outputs as well as the Arduino microcontroller. Finally you will apply the knowledge you have learned in Arduino robotics to build and program a two wheeled autonomous robot.
- Anyone including middle school & high school students, with no prior background, interested in getting exposed to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math & Computer Programming.
- Example: Any students from 6th grade - 12th grade
- Introduction
- Blink an LED
- Lecture 3: Potentiometer
- Photoresistor
- Line Sensor
- Ultrasonic Sensor
- Piezo Buzzer
- Drive Motors
- Building the Robot
