Programming

Process of developing and implementing various sets of instructions to enable a computer to do a certain task.

Robot Programming

Robot programming is the defining of desired motions so that the robot may perform them without human intervention.

High level languages are used for programming.

In 1770 Swiss clock

maker Pierre Jaquet

Droz start making

automaton for

European royalty.

First inventor of a

programmable

humanoid robot with

a unique function.

6000 parts.

Stacks on the wheel

are used for

programming.

Letters can be

removed and

reordered.

Completely runs on

kinetic energy.

. Pierre Jaquet Droz

was 50 years old.

240 years old robot.

Build in Switzerland.

He work on his own.

Distant ancestor of the

Modern

Programmable

Computer.

Behaviors describe the actions and

decisions of your robot

Basic behaviors Simple individual bite size action that

your robot can perform.

For example: turn motor A ON

• Built of several basic behaviors

• Let you describe a full action of the robot

Simple Behavior

Go forward until you

hit a wall and then

turn

Turn motor A

on forwards

Get touch

sensor reading

from Port 1

Turn off motors

A & C

Turn motor A

on backwards

Turn motor C

on forwards

Turn motor C

on forwards

Compare

sensor reading

to constant 0

• Describe the full scope of what the robot can do

• Always composed of smaller behaviors, so you can break them down

Complex Behavior

Navigate a wall

Drive

forward

Turn

right

Stop when

you hit a

wall

Drive forward Drive forwardStop when

you hit a

wall

Stop when

wall

Turn

Turn

Yes

No

End

Yes

No

End

Go when touch sensor is pushed

Filling a tire

• Describe what sensors and motors do.

• Describes the behaviors.

What behavior does this pseudo-code

describe?

Back up when you hit a wall and turn right

1. Move forward until the touch sensor is pressed

2. Stop all motors

3. Reverse for 1 second

4. Stop all motors

5. Turn right

After implementing

the pseudo-code

the robots hardware

makes desired

motions.
