Come
join us for an exciting day of interactive learning especiallydesigned
for teachers.This workshop builds
on the Parallax microcontroller workshop.The
Boe-Bot and Robotics!text can be
used by teachers to give students a hands-on introduction to a variety
of engineering topics such as modulation, demodulation, frequency harmonics,
frequency sweep, control systems and proportional control, and pulse width
modulation.Infrared emitter/detector
pairs will be used on the Boe-Bot for object detection, distance detection,
tracking and following objects and colored stripes and decoding a handheld
TV remote.
The
workshop is free of charge and all materials are supplied including the
Boe-Bot and Robotics! text.
Topics/Activities
~Programming
the Boe-Bot for basic movement, turns, ramping speed and reading directions
stored in the EEPROM without input devices.
~Integrate
concepts pertaining to program structuring to develop an advanced robotic
application with inputs that sense objects and light.
~Make the robot find its way out of the room to a well-lit hallway.
