Enhancing TankBot Intelligence with LEGO Mindstorms Sensors

This professional development module introduces educators to the concepts of sensors in the LEGO Mindstorms kit. Participants will learn how to enhance TankBot's capabilities by implementing touch and light sensors. Module I focuses on the touch sensor, enabling TankBot to detect obstacles, while Module II explores the light sensor for tracking lines. Key activities include programming reactive behaviors, using conditional statements, and controlling TankBot with a remote. Perfect for educators looking to enrich their robotics curriculum with hands-on activities.

  1. Lesson 2: Sensors Teacher Professional Development Spring, 2002 Robotics Academy 2002. All rights reserved.

  2. Module 1: Sensors I - Touch Sensor This module serves as an introduction to the different types of sensors in the Lego Mindstorms kit. You will make TankBot more intelligent by giving it a bumper so it knows when it has run into something. In this module, you will... • Tip of the Day: The Replace Tool. • Write a program that makes • TankBot react to its bumper. • Learn why robots need sensors. • Learn about the types of • sensors in the Lego kit. • Learn about conditional • statements • Build a bumper for TankBot that • uses a touch sensor. • Write a program that lets • you control TankBot with a • remote control. • Learn about control loops.

  3. Module 2: Sensors II - Light Sensor This module continues the lesson on sensors by introducing a sensor that can detect the intensity of light. You will use a light sensor to have TankBot track a black line on a white surface. In this module, you will... • Give TankBot a light sensor. • Learn about Light Sensor Wait-for statements. • Learn how to see what the light sensor is reading. • Write a program that makes TankBot stop when it sees a black • or white surface. • Write a program that makes TankBot track a black and white edge. • Complete a worksheet on Sensors.
