Explain
❑ Robotics is an interdisciplinary science that includes engineering and

computing used for the design, construction, operation and use of robots.
❑ Research in the field of robotics focuses on improving the function and
operation of robots to make robots more advanced, useful, and efficient.
❑ Many advanced robots are autonomous. Some have artificial intelligence.

Robots may be classified by environment and mechanism of interaction.

❑ A mobile robot is a type of robot that can move around in their
surroundings and are not fixed to only one location. Mobile robots can be
"autonomous" that means they are free to navigate in an uncontrolled
environment without the need for physical or electro-mechanical guidance
devices.
❑ A fixed robot on the other hand, is a type of robot screwed in a specific

place and not capable of roaming around its environment. Example of this
is the robotic arms. TechFactors Copyright 2020
A B TechFactors Copyright 2020

Robots may also be classified by application field.

1. Automata are machines which are autonomous

or operate by themselves largely without
intervention. The word automaton is a classic term
for robot. Through automata, many researches
come up that help us to understand functions and
solve computable problems.

2. Humanoids are autonomous mobile robot. Their

mechanical design for moving the arms and legs are
complex. They are mostly built to help in the
research of the mechanics of walking and human-
machine interaction.

❑ Mechanism refers to the combination of moving components in a machine
which work together to perform an action.
❑ Actuator – a part of a machine used for moving or controlling a mechanism
or system.
❑ Robot Manipulators – are made up of links (rigid parts) and joints
(axes)make up the appendages of a robot that work like arms and legs,
which are made to move with the help of the servo motor.

Elaborate
The benefits of Robots are continuously increasing, from performing simple
tasks up to more complex ones.
❑ Their work is more precise and consistent compared to human. In terms
of production, through the robots help, production of materials and
products are greatly increased.
❑ Robots have also the ability to work all day because they do not get sick,
they are always ready to finish the job.
Elaborate
❑ Since robots are very flexible, they can do even dangerous jobs and
can work in hazardous environment. They can lift heavy loads, toxic
substances that help us to prevent accidents in working area.
❑ In medical field, robots are now use in surgeries that helps in less
invasive procedure .

assemble an mBot Nervous Bird and what it looks like. Why is it called Nervous Bird?

Explore
Arrange the given letters to come up with the words related to Nervous Bird.
YRSCPEGOO - a device that measures angular rate and acceleration
RTCEACELMEORE – an instrument that measures acceleration of vehicles
UPM 0506 – a sensor based on MEMS technology

Explain

Elaborate
Gyroscope used in Nervous bird can be used in:
❑ Aerial vehicles to avoid flipping or going into a spin.

❑ Change orientations in toys, gadgets and smart phones
❑ Inertial Navigation system like in Hubble Telescope and submarines
❑ It can monitor and control device position

Elaborate
Accelerometer uses include:
❑ Inertial navigation systems, highly sensitive accelerometers are used.

❑ Detecting and monitoring vibrations in rotating machinery.
❑ Display images in an upright position on screens of digital cameras.
❑ Flight stabilization in drones.
❑ Sense orientation, coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock.
❑ Detecting the position of the device in laptops and mobiles.

What are the three main on-board parts of a nervous bird? Explain it in a sheet of
paper.

Challenge Game: Bird
Race
Lesson 22: Challenge Game: Bird Race
Target Outcomes
❑ Create a code that will make the Nervous Bird perform in a

sprint race and obstacle avoidance challenge; and

Engage
What makes the Nervous Bird a self-balancing robot?

Explore
Have you witnessed a Pigeon race?

What makes it exciting?

Explain

Explain

Elaborate
Pigeons are the oldest domesticated bird. The predecessors of modern-day racing
pigeons were pigeons bred for their homing ability, primarily to carry messages and
used in the military.
The importance of homing pigeons in the centuries before electronic

communications, such as the telegraph and telephone, is seldom recognized.

Explore
Using the word “ROBOT” make an acronym that enumerates the

characteristics of a robot.

Explain

Explain

Elaborate
Robot has the following applications:
Outer space application - The robotic unmanned spacecraft
serve as the key in exploring the stars, planets and etc.
Military applications - It is an important factor in research and
development
Intelligent Home application - It allows monitoring home
security and energy usage
Industry - Manufacturing automation
Health service - Robotic suit for nurses
Evaluate
The group that will be able to perform the assigned task will be declared as
the winner of the game.

Give some of the applications of a robot and explain it in a sheet of paper.

the goal of Soccer Bot. Is it an exciting game?

Explain

Explain

Elaborate
This game is applicable to factories wherein packages are lifted/pushed

towards a designated place.

Evaluate
The robot that will be able to win three times will be declared as the
winner of the game.
