Robots cannot see or understand the world exactly like humans do. They use sensors to collect information about their surroundings. In this session, students will explore how robots detect obstacles and respond to their environment through a hands-on Obstacle Avoider Robot activity.
What Will Students Learn?
- Understanding Sensors
- What is a sensor?
- How do sensors help robots interact with their surroundings?
- Introduction to distance/ultrasonic sensors.
- How Robots Sense the World
- How a robot detects an object in front of it.
- How sensor readings help a robot make decisions.
- Understanding the connection between sensors, controllers and motors.
- Hands-on Activity – Obstacle Avoider Robot
- Understand the robot's components and their functions.
- Explore how the robot detects an obstacle.
- Observe how the robot changes direction or stops when an obstacle is detected.
- Understand the basic logic behind obstacle avoidance.
Student Takeaways
- Explain what a sensor is and why robots need sensors.
- Understand how an ultrasonic sensor detects nearby objects.
- Describe how a robot uses sensor input to make decisions.
- Identify the role of the controller and motors in robot movement.
- Explain the basic working logic of an obstacle avoiding robot.
Relate the concept to real-world applications such as autonomous vehicles and robotic navigation.
