“ ROBOTS WALK INTO SCHOOLS” : Workshop for Teachers


DATE : 16th April 2007 to 21st April 2007 ( 6 Days)
TIME : 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
VENUE : KULACHI HANSRAJ MODEL SCHOOL,
Ashok Vihar, Phase- III
PARTICIPANTS : 2 Teachers from each school namely,

1. Kulachi Hansraj Model School, Ashok Vihar, Phase III
2. Hansraj Model School, Punjabi Bagh
3. DAV, Shalimar Bagh
4. DAV, Dayanand Vihar
5. DAV, Pushpanjali
6. Ramjas School, Pusa Road


Robotics is the latest buzz. So it is being introduced for School Children too. Kulachi Hansraj Model School in collaboration with Pitambar Infovision organized a training session for teachers so as to equip them to train students. The workshop gave insight into Robotic and control technology. Workshop covered various features in terms of assembling and programming of Boe Bot. Functioning of various electronic components like LED’s, Infra Red sensors, IR detectors etc was also explained. Path Finding Boe Bot, Maze solving Boe Bot, LED matrix display, Boe Bot with Remote control and Boe Bot with IR sensors were part of the workshop activities. Thus Robotics will facilitate interdisciplinary approach as students will be able to integrate knowledge of Mathematics, Science and Computer Programming and apply it creatively.Video Recording for the same can be viewed.......

ROBOTICS FACTS

What are Robots?
Robot comes from the Czech word 'robota' which means 'forced work or labor'. We use the word "Robot" today to mean any man-made machine that can perform work or other actions normally performed by humans, either automatically or by remote control.
What do Robots do?
Most robots today are used to do repetitive (boring) actions or jobs considered too dangerous for humans. They are also used in factories to build things like cars, candy bars, and electronics. Some robots are even designed to explore underwater and on other planets!
Why Use Robots?
The reason we use robots is because it is cheaper, easier and sometimes the only way we can get things done! Robots can explore inside gas tanks, volcanoes, Mars and other places too dangerous for humans to go! Robots also can do one thing over and over again without getting bored – is that something you could do? Think about it – standing in one place doing the same thing all day and night would get pretty boring! Another reason to use robots is because they never get sick, don’t need to take a day off, and best of all they don’t ever complain!
What are Robots Made Of?
Well, Robots can be made from a variety of materials including metals and plastics and most robots usually have at least 3 main parts:
  • Controller - also known as the "brain" which is run by a computer program
  • Mechanical parts - motors, pistons, grippers, wheels, gears that make the robot move usually powered by air, water, or electricity.
  • Sensors to tell the robot about its surroundings. These parts working together control how the robot operates. Without the controller or "brain", motors, and sensors, robots would not be able to function.
