PROGRAM OVERVIEW
APPLICATIONS OF ROBOTICS RO102 - Applications of Robots:Students continue their study into the nature of robotics, and explore different applications and uses of robots and robot arms. Students write a
research paper, create automatons, build tracked and wheeled robotic vehicles, and construct extending robotic arms that incorporate trusses, and
design and explore the effectiveness of pincher end effectors.
RO202 - Mechanical Controls:Students are introduced to different methods of mechanical steering and controlling robots. Students experiment with levers, linkages, pneumatics,
and pivot wheel steering. Terms and activities cover new concepts and reinforce those learned in RO102.
RO302 - Sensors and Feedback:Students continue to explore the concepts of feedback by integrating and creating sensors in robotic devices. Terminology and activities cover
principles central to automatic control of robots.
RO402 - Advanced Robotics:Students apply their knowledge in a series of projects that require the incorporation of sensors and programming. Students are encouraged to
explore robotic projects on their own, or as part of a larger science project.
T hePCS Edventures!TM Academy of Robotics empowers students to explore the basic foundations of
robotics and mechanical engineering by completing an exciting array of hands-on activities.
Academy students participate in creating physical and tangible projects. These projects and the setting of therobotics lab are relevant to real world experiences. The Academy of Robotics compels students to build models,design experiments, and solve problems in a challenging, fun atmosphere!
