Robotics
Workshop for 12- to 15-year-olds 1 April 2022 – 6 May 2022
CUBO offers a simple and intuitive path to build and program a robot thanks to the block programming language that allows participants to quickly transfer commands and information to robots.
Robotics is an interdisciplinary science that combines computer science, psychology, linguistics and automation and allows to develop different skills in logic and analysis, transforming knowledge into know-how.
We want to take advantage of Lego Mindstorm robots, a Lego kit with which it is possible to build multiple models and equip them with motors and sensors.
A personal laptop is required.
In collaboration with Makers Hub.
Picasso Robot
- Friday 1 April 2022 at 17:30 - 19:30
Introduction to robotics: what is a robot, historical notes on robotics and introduction to the didactic instrumentation (Lego Mindstorm kit).
Creation of a Picasso robot equipped with a marker and able to draw.
Macchina a infrarossi
- Friday 8 April 2022 at 17:30 - 19:30
Realizzazione di una “macchina colori”. Tramite un sensore ad infrarossi e un dispositivo di comando multicolore andremo a creare una macchinina che dovrà completare un percorso a ostacoli seguendo i comandi trasmessi.
Line follower
- Friday 22 April 2022 at 17:30 - 19:30
Programming and assembly of a robot line follower using infrared sensors.
Bowler
- Friday 29 April 2022 at 17:30 - 19:30
Introduction to the use of gears. We’ll learn to use average motors: technical characteristics and programming methods. We’ll learn how to build a gripper, assembly and programming of a robot bowler.
Troubleshooting
- Friday 6 May 2022 at 17:30
Troubleshooting the robot bowler, improving accuracy in the game through the infrared sensor and improving the functionality of the robot through programming.
