Robotics – Sensor presentations

Objectives

  • Students present and explain the functions and usage of the sensors (color, ultrasound).
  • Students put into practice their knowledge about the sensors and program the robot to utilize the sensor.

Group A Color Sensor

  • sensor test with different colors
  • follow the black line on the testpad
  • program the robot to announce (sound) the colors as it recognizes them
  • how big should the start point be?

Group B Ultra Sound Sensor

  • test course with obstacles
  • detect an obstacle, stop as close as possible to the obstacle
  • program the robot to announce (sound) the distance to the obstacle
  • program the robot to drive around the obstacle

Presentation Specs

Read, explore and test ALL sensors one-by-one, check user guide, search online (youtube, google, etc.)

  • What is the function of the sensor?
  • How far is its reach?
  • How fast does the sensor and software react?
  • Test the sensors one-by-one and document the results.
  • **Record/note your research
