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 107: Robot Sensing and Mapping
This video discusses how a robot can “see” things around it by converting polar coordinates to cartesian coordinates in order to make a map. This handout covers a lesson review and questions that encourge students to apply mathematics to keep track of position of obstacles on a map. […]
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. […]
CodeJoy
CodeJoy hosts live, interactive classes to engage and educate students about robotics and coding. CodeJoy offers interactive classes for students as well as co-teaching and professional development sessions for educators. […]
Lesson 104: Robot Localization
This video discusses how robots keep track of position as the robot moves, and update their position with math using ranges to known landmarks. This handout covers a lesson review and questions that encourage studnets to use mathematics to have robots find their position on a map relative to landmarks. […]
Lesson 103: Robot Measurement
This video explores the different ways to measure distances, speeds, time, and other items important to robots. This handout covers a lesson review and questions that encourage students to gain practice using the metric system for robotics. […]
