- Robot Challenge with Lego Mindstorms Do you want to explore the
rapidly developing and exciting field of Robotics using Lego
Mindstorms? Do you want to learn about the robot parts, sensors,
motors, etc., and the programming that directs them to perform
different tasks? We will test our programming skills by designing
new tasks and with friendly challenges and completions. L.

- Robot Challenge with Lego Mindstorms Weekly Activities Week 1 -
Intro to Robots Students will learn about the world of robots and
about Lego Mindstorms robots, their parts and how they are
programmed. Week 2 - Developing Programming Skills We will learn
about computer programming and problem solving steps. They will
apply this by programming the robots perform certain basic tasks.
Week 3 - Robot Challenge Teams will program their robots to perform
specific tasks in series and will have a challenge to see how well
they succeeded. Week 4 - Creating a New Task for Robots Teams will
test their problem solving and programming skills by programming
their robots to complete a new series of more complex tasks in
preparation for the final challenge completion next week. Week 5 -
Challenge & Celebration We will put our programming and
problems solving skills to the test in a final completion and
celebrate our successes and learning. L. MacCormack-Martin GFMS

- 1921 The word Robot is used The term "robot" was first used in
a play called "R.U.R." or "Rossum's Universal Robots" by the Czech
writer Karel Capek. The word robota means forced labor in Czech.
The plot was simple: man makes robot then robot kills man! L.

- 1890s Tele-robotics invented Nikola Tesla was famous for
inventing the radio and alternating current (the kind of
electricity we use in our homes). He also built the first remote
controlled robot, - a small boat. He called this remote controlled
robot tele-robotics. L. MacCormack-Martin GFMS BOCES STEM Academy

- Isaac Asimov 1941 - Science fiction writer Isaac Asimov first
used the word "robotics" to describe the technology of robots and
predicted the rise of a powerful robot industry. Asimov wrote The
book I, Robot" L. MacCormack-Martin GFMS BOCES STEM Academy

- Isaac Asimov & The Three Laws of Robotics 1942 - Asimov s
book I-Robot", contained the "Three Laws of Robotics". These laws
are: A robot may not injure a human, or, through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders it by
human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First
Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. L.

- 1956- The Unimate: George Devol and Joe Engleberger decided to
try to make a robot after chatting at a party. They invented the
first programmable robot arm. They called their robotic arm
Unimate. L. MacCormack-Martin GFMS BOCES STEM Academy 3/2013

- The Unimate-First industrial Robot L. MacCormack-Martin GFMS
BOCES STEM Academy 3/2013 The robotic arms were first used to weld
car parts together at Chrysler Automotive, but other US companies
did not quickly accept or use them However, Japan recognized the
benefits of robots in manufacturing and Japan has bought more
robots than any other country.

- Robotization- Robots taking humans jobs Advantages
Disadvantages Robots do not get sick or hurt or need health
insurance. They can work 24/7. They can be reprogrammed for a new
job. They can be moved to a new location. Humans lose jobs to
robots. Most robots cannot problem solve like humans. Robots need
to be repaired & maintained L. MacCormack-Martin GFMS BOCES

- Exploration of the Shipwrecked Titanic The robots used to
explore the shipwreck of the Titanic were tele-robots and were
called Jake & Elwood. The Titanic is at 12,600 feet deep in the
Atlantic Ocean. L. MacCormack-Martin GFMS BOCES STEM Academy

- Rovers Spirit & Opportunity: Landed on Mars in 2004 Landed
using airbags inflated to protect the lander for a soft landing
over the hard rocks on Mars. Once the airbag ball stopped bouncing,
the airbags deflated so that the rover could deploy (unfold and
take shape as the vehicle to explore Mars). L. MacCormack-Martin

- Supervisory Robots Robots that depend on humans to make key
decisions, but the robot can work without constant guidance. L.
MacCormack-Martin GFMS BOCES STEM Academy 3/2013 Context: The Mars
Rovers can make many decisions for themselves but they do depend on
humans for some decisions.
