What to study? MECHANICS (Science & Math) or just buy a kit ELECTRONICS – very basic PROGRAMMING – very important ENVIRONMENT and INTERFACE They all work together as one.
Why study robotics? Robotics can be an end – for engineers BUT they need to program! It can be a means to learn programming, embedded systems, operating systems, real-time systems, etc.
Do you need to know mechanics? To star it, NO! Use a pre-built or follow a “how-to” pattern of building and focus on programming. To improve, YES! Change Tires, change body, change structure, etc.
Do you need to know electronics? NO! USE Pre-built ones. YES, the basics of electricity and electronics to ADD to the circuit. For advanced programming, and building of your own libraries Better electronics can also improve design.
Robotics in the IT Programs Is it another subject? NO!
Programming Courses Study of Programming Make robots move (instead of mere input/output) Sense environments and build conditions Learn state transitions and automata by example Use loops, events, triggers from a real environment.
Network & Communication (Multiple robot controllers) Use of bluetooth, Xbee, RF, etc to control them remotely Use of Wifi or Ethernet shields Add web and network programming for IP-based robots (cameras, home controls, etc).
Computer Architecture Learn computer electronics and make your own libraries (midway between C and Assembly) Study of interrupts and bus architectures Firmware programming
Areas for research Study of Algorithms Navigation and Planning Video & Audio Processing Collaborative Robots & Computing Embedded systems Real time systems
Robotics in the IT Programs Is it another subject? NO!

How to Start? As a computer club Hold Seminar/Training Compile tutorials Run Contests Adapt it as a learning platform
Watch OUT!!! NATONAL and Regional SUMOBOT
PSITE SUMOBOT 2012 Teacher’s Edition
PSITE SUMOBOT 2012 Sustaining teacher training and praxis Good modeling for students Starting point for possible curriculum use and integration. Starting point for possible research and research grants
PSITE SUMOBOT 2012 PSITE hold regional contests Pinoy Robot Games maintain a National Tally Board (for scores) and official rules of the contest. Pinoy Robot Games hold the NATIONAL CONTEST
PSITE SUMOBOT 2012 National Contest WINNER sponsored to go to the International Robot Olympiad or Singapore Robot Games
