Content
This unit introduces the fundamental computational paradigms of robotic systems (sense-reason-act) in the context of a hands-on, studio based learning environment using the mBot ranger robots. Students will learn and practice event-driven programming methods within mBlock5, the visual programming environment for the mBot ranger robot. Problems such as animating movement, responding to stimuli, and creating meaningful behaviours in constrained environmental contexts will form the basis of practical investigations of the robots' capabilities and limitations, as well as the design and development of programmatic solutions.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must meet certain milestones as part of the portfolio.
