Topic: Physics
The Big Questions in Physics
This course takes high schoolers through interesting questions we tend to have including ones about the existince of parallel universes or aliens. It’s a fun way to take students through physics concepts. […]
The Robot Doctor Demos
This resource includes visual demos and written explanations of robotics concepts from the educational video series, The Robot Doctor. Specifically, it covers robot localization, vision, motion, and measurement, four out of the eight lessons in the video series. Users should be familiar with The Robot Doctor, and have basic knowledge of mathematics and physics. […]
Lesson 108: Robot Controls
This video discusses how we can control a robot’s motors to have it follow straight and curved line paths. This handout covers a lesson review and questions that encourge students to apply mathematics to caluculate a robot’s tradgectory. […]
Lesson 106: Robot Vision
This video discusses how a robot can sense the world it around it using cameras as well as determine the distance to objects using multiple cameras. This handout covers a lesson review and questions that encourage students to use mathematics to compute robot distance to particular features. […]
Lesson 105: Robot Motion
This video discusses how a robot moves by using math to predict future positions given the robot’s model and the equations of motion. This handout covers a lesson review and question that encourage students to use mathematics to determine the orientation the robot is facing. […]
