- Slide 2
- Form groups What does a robot mean to you? Report back to
group
- Slide 3
- Machine Built to do job(s) Programmed Maybe autonomous If we
want robots to do things for us, we have to program them How do we
program a robot? What does the robot need to KNOW to do useful
things?
- Slide 4
- Pick up the garbage and put it in the garbage can Give
instructions to robot If it understands, it will carry out
instructions If it does not understand, it will shake its head
- Slide 5
- What do they need to do to perform tasks? Imagine picking up
some trash from the floor and taking it to the nearest garbage bin
Need to get an understanding of whats around them, like where the
trash is ( SENSE ) Need to work out what they are going to do, and
how they are going to do it ( PLAN ) Then they need to actually do
it ( ACT )
- Slide 6
- How do we do things? We move around We pick things up We drop
things Robots need to use the same Called ACTING
- Slide 7
- Gripper Motor Legs Wheels Tracks Face Display Speech
- Slide 8
- Learn how to make your robot ACT SENSE Write programs to make
it PLAN

- Slide 25
- Move forward 3 seconds, then backward 3 seconds Move forward 3
seconds, and turn left or right (try to get close to a 90 o turn)
Try to get robot to drive around a square Is there a better way to
do this? Lets create a new program
- Slide 26
- Slide 27
- Slide 28
- Slide 29
- Slide 30
- Use the loop structure to make your robot drive around in a
rough square Can you make it so that the robot drives EXACTLY once
around the square, and then stops Can you make it drive once around
a square, and then rotate roughly 360 degrees on the spot?
- Slide 31
- What do we use to find out about the world around us? Eyes Ears
Touch Taste Smell Robots need to use the same Called SENSING
- Slide 32
- Camera Color Ultra Sonic Infra Red Touch Sound
- Slide 33
- Slide 34
- Slide 35
- Slide 36
- Slide 37
- Slide 38
- Slide 39
- Slide 40
- Slide 41
- Slide 42
- Slide 43
- Slide 44
- Create a new program (called avoidObjects): Drive forward IF
theres an object close to the robot THEN turn 90 degrees left or
right (your choice) Do this forever Try a new program with the
color sensor Make the robot drive around IF it detects something
RED THEN stop
- Slide 45
- Slide 46
- Youve been programming your robot Giving the PLANS or
INSTRUCTIONS to do tasks Using SENSORS to help make decisions Using
EFFECTORS to carry out those plans
- Slide 47
- How do we decide what to do? Make decisions of what to do and
when Put things together in sequence Make a plan (for the day, or
week, or) Have to be able to deal with things that occur as we do
our stuff Robots need to use the same Called PLANNING
- Slide 48
- Think of IF-THEN rules IF THEN IF AND THEN IF OR THEN IF NOT
THEN
- Slide 49
- SENSE PLAN ACT Its an old idea Its still around Youll encounter
this in any robotics class youll ever take
- Slide 50
- Social robots will interact with us in our world Need to
cooperate, communicate and collaborate with humans Have to
understand our goals, our actions, and our behaviors What do robots
need to achieve this? Which of our robots is most `social?
- Slide 51
- Slide 52
- BANG!!!
- Slide 53
- OUCH!!!! BANG!!! Ooops. Sorry!
- Slide 54
- And then I said to her, you know. VRRROOOMMM What the heckhang
on ROOMBA: NOT NOW!!! And SHE said that I was, and I said
- Slide 55
- Slide 56
- Thinking about the AVOID program from earlier What would an
ANGRY robot do? What would a POLITE robot do?
- Slide 57
- Slide 58
- Slide 59
- Slide 60
- Slide 61
- Create either an ANGRY or a POLITE robot and demonstrate
it
- Slide 62
- Home help Pick up trash Cook dinner Tidy your room Go to the
store Pet care Walk dog Feed dog Play games School assistant Hand
out assignments Monitor the hallways Pick up books Sport robot Play
soccer Play tennis Referee a match
- Slide 63
- Sensors Effectors Planning
- Slide 64
- 45 minutes 5 groups Leaders are here to help Play around
- Slide 65
- 5 minutes
- Slide 66
- Scenario Sensors Plan Action
- Slide 67
- Designing new robots New sensors New ways of combining sensor
information New effectors Making robots think How to get them to
talk How to make their eyes work All of this involves writing
programs
- Slide 68
- Computer programming Create the behavior you want the robot or
computer to do Think algorithmically Write down that algorithm in a
way that a machine understands Test it, improve it
- Slide 69
- Questions? What do you wish we had talked about? Evaluation so
we can improve this workshop! 3 minutes!
