Robotics

Introduction

Robotics is commonly defined as the study of the intelligent connection between perception and action. As such, the full scope of robotics lies at the intersection of mechanics, electronics, signal processing, and control engineering, computing, and mathematical modeling.

RoboRobo Kit is designed to learn and develop skills and knowledge in robotics. Each Robotics kit contains CPU, DC Motors, Sensors and many more to have students build their own robots with bolts and nuts. This kit is also used for Build a Robot 2020 Online Challenge

Programming of the robot is executed with a drag and drop program in GUI environment for easy understanding and enjoyment. Following the workbook instructions included in the set, each student will build 10~12 robots throughout the coursework. A coursework here is considered as 20 hours sessions.

With many parts to work with, students love to create their own robots. Typically, after 6 units of building and coding, students begin to design and build their own versions of robots to perform various tasks.
