What to study?

MECHANICS (Science & Math)or just buy a kit

ELECTRONICS – very basicPROGRAMMING – very

importantENVIRONMENT and INTERFACE

They all work together as one.

Why study robotics?

• Robotics can be an end – for engineersBUT they need to program!

• It can be a means to learn programming, embedded systems, operating systems, real-time systems, etc.

Do you need to know mechanics?

• To star it, NO!• Use a pre-built or follow a “how-

to” pattern of building and focus on programming.

• To improve, YES!• Change Tires, change body,

change structure, etc.

Do you need to know electronics?

• NO! USE Pre-built ones.• YES, the basics of electricity and

electronics to ADD to the circuit.• For advanced programming, and

building of your own libraries• Better electronics can also

improve design.

Robotics in the IT Programs

Is it another subject?

NO!

Programming Courses

• Study of Programming– Make robots move

(instead of mere input/output)– Sense environments and

build conditions– Learn state transitions and

automata by example– Use loops, events, triggers from a

real environment.

Network & Communication

(Multiple robot controllers)

Use of bluetooth, Xbee, RF, etc to control them remotely

Use of Wifi or Ethernet shields

Add web and network programming for IP-based robots (cameras, home controls, etc).

Computer Architecture

• Learn computer electronics and make your own libraries (midway between C and Assembly)

• Study of interrupts and bus architectures

• Firmware programming

Areas for research

• Study of Algorithms• Navigation and Planning• Video & Audio Processing• Collaborative Robots &

Computing• Embedded systems• Real time systems

Robotics in the IT Programs

Is it another subject?

NO!

NATONAL and Regional SUMOBOT

PSITE SUMOBOT 2012

Teacher’s Edition

• Sustaining teacher training and praxis

• Good modeling for students• Starting point for possible

curriculum use and integration.• Starting point for possible

research and research grants

PSITE SUMOBOT 2012

• PSITE hold regional contests• Pinoy Robot Games maintain a

National Tally Board (for scores)and official rules of the contest.

• Pinoy Robot Games hold the NATIONAL CONTEST
