About This Course
Welcome to the hands-on world of robotics! This course brings programming learning from virtual screens to the real world, allowing students to truly experience the joy and challenges of intelligent control through building, programming, and controlling physical brick robots. The course is specifically designed for Hong Kong students, combining engineering design with computational thinking. Students will start from controlling basic robot movement, gradually learn to use various sensors, and ultimately achieve complex automation tasks such as automatic line following and intelligent obstacle avoidance.
Course Levels
-
01
Building and motor control
Learn the parts and build a sturdy robot, then program its motors so it drives forward, back and turns to reach a chosen spot.
-
02
Using sensors
Use touch, ultrasonic, colour and gyro sensors so the robot reacts to what it senses, for example turning away from obstacles.
-
03
Line-following algorithms
Combine algorithms with sensors to program a robot that corrects its route in real time, avoids obstacles and completes set tasks, while learning to make software and hardware work together.
-
04
Two-sensor line following and junctions
Use two light sensors for smoother, steadier line following, and let the robot choose its direction at crossroads by command to complete complex routes.
