  1. From R2 to R2 Robotics in Space

  2. When you think of robots in space, what comes to mind?

  3. Science Fiction leads to…

  4. Science Fact!

  5. Curiosity Mission Goals Goal 1: Determine whether life ever arose on Mars Goal 2: Characterize the climate of Mars Goal 3: Characterize the geology of Mars Goal 4: Prepare for human exploration

  6. Robonaut 2 Robonaut 2 emerges from a packing crate with the help of NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman. Photo Credit/NASA TV • 4 Ds of Robotics • Dangerous • Dull • Delicate • Dirty

  7. LEGO Mindstorms “Oh, you actually DO something in your class? I thought you just played with LEGOs.”

  8. LEGO Mindstorms • Application of classroom concepts • Technical reading • Task-oriented problem solving • Career exploration • High interest • Connections to “real engineering” • Teamwork and group dynamics

  9. Activity 1: Blind Build 1 Choose a partner. Each person needs to retrieve a bag of LEGOs from the table. Determine who in your pair is taller. That person will be Leader 1. The other will be Leader 2. Using only the LEGO pieces in your bag, Leader 1 will create a structure using fewer than 10 pieces. Hide your structure from your partner. NO PEEKING!!

  10. Activity 1: Blind Build 1 • Leader 1: • Give Leader 2 instructions on how to build your structure. • Describe the pieces the best you can. • Length • Color • Shape • Use Hide your structure from your partner. NO PEEKING!!

  11. Activity 1: Blind Build 1 • Debrief: • Successes? • Challenges?

  12. Nomenclature no·men·cla·ture The devising or choosing of names for things, esp. in a science or other discipline. The body or system of such names in a particular field: "the nomenclature of chemical compounds". Why is nomenclature important?

  13. LEGO Nomenclature • Resources: • 9797 LEGO Education Users Guide pdf • Page 69 in Building Guide in kit • Measuring Card

  14. Activity 2: Blind Build 2 Leader 2: Using fewer than ten pieces, create a structure different from the one you built earlier. Give Leader 1 instructions on how to build your structure. This time, use LEGO nomenclature to describe the pieces and placement in your structure. Hide your structure from your partner. NO PEEKING!!

  15. Activity 2: Blind Build 2 • Debrief: • How did the addition of nomenclature change this activity? • How can this apply to teamwork as a whole?

  17. Art bots 5 – Block Programming

  18. Turn your robot on.

  19. Use the right, light grey arrow to toggle to the NXT Program menu and press the orange button to select.

  20. This screen tells students which ports use for motors and sensors. Press the orange button to bypass.

  21. Programming Screen

  22. 5 – Block Programming 1 5 2 3 4 Blocks 1&3: Forward, Back, Turn Right, Turn Left, Back Right, Back Left, Back Right 2, Back Left 2 Either Block 1 or Block 3 MUST be a turn. Blocks 2&4: Empty Block 5: Loop

  23. 5 – Block Programming • Debrief: • What did you discover?

  24. Moving Forward 5 – Block Programming

  25. 5 – Block Programming 1 5 2 3 4 Block 1: Forward Block 2: Wait 5 Blocks 3&4: Empty Block 5: Stop

  26. Measuring Distance • Leader 1: Start robot and measure final distance • Leader 2: Measure final distance. • Repeat this test with each type of wheel.

  27. Measuring Distance What can we learn about our robot by analyzing these sets of data?

  28. Measuring Distance Challenge: Using any set of wheels, create a program that will allow your robot to travel EXACTLY

  29. Measuring Distance • Debrief: • What curricular connections are made in this lesson?
