Build a robot, Code it and Design Mobile UI for controlling it
What you'll learn:
Demonstrate knowledge of the various parts that make up a robotic system by identifying the tools and components used in building one
Assemble two versions of a differential mobile robot from scratch
Understand and explain the basic concepts of programming using block-based and text-based programming
Identify, describe the working principles and program the common sensors usually installed on mobile robots
Explain the basic communication technologies like InfraRed and Bluetooth used in mobile robotics
Program IR sensor and Bluetooth module for remote control of the robot
Design simple mobile UI interfaces for the robot control using MIT’s AppInvetor
Requirements:
No robotics or programming experience needed. You'll learn everything you need to know.
To follow along with the robot assembly, you'll need the Mingo Robot Kit and the corresponding apps, Gblox Desktop and Gblox Mobile
Description:
This is an introductory course to the world of Robotics. In this course, the basic concepts of Robotics are taught to the learner. These concepts include but are not limited to Robot anatomy, Degree of Freedom, Robot Joints, Differential Robot Control, Bluetooth Communication Protocol, IR Communication Protocol and Mobile App Design using MIT App Inventor.
Although it is an introductory course, the curriculum has been designed to be progressive to help learners get comfortable with robotics and programming even without any experience. An easier and more friendly coding method, graphical programming, is employed at the initial stages. However, as the learners advance, they are introduced to text-based programming where they learn to program the robot using C++.
Projects
The following are projects that can be done using Mingo:
Robot Assembly
