RoboMind A first impression of programming with RoboMind Arvid Halma, University of Amsterdam

Overview Machines and Instructions Writing programs

Instructions If you want to make a machine, computer or robot work, you have to give it instructions Instructions differ from machine to machine and can be anything. For example:  Video recorder: record, play, pause  Web browser: go to site, go back, print page Question: What could be instructions for an automatic pilot?

Basic instructions Every machine has a set of basic instructions: actions it can perform directly. The robot we're going to program has basic instructions to: MoveSeePaintGrab

Giving instructions Instructions can be given by  Pressing a button  Dragging your mouse  Writing commando's ...

Instructions with a mouse Open the remote control in RoboMind (Execute > Remote Control) Click the buttons to make the robot act Exercise: Try to make the robot drive a small square

Writing instructions You can also write instructions Moving can be done with the commands: forward(1), backward(1), left(), right() 1. Write instructions 2. Click execute 3. See the result

Example: Square Write the following movement instructions: forward(1) right() forward(1) right() forward(1) right() forward(1) right() Script 1

Writing seems slower Writing instructions seems to be more work than using the remote controle However, it is more convenient if you want to automate the process of giving instructions  You can execute the instructions more than once, without writing the script again or clicking the buttons on the remote control  Execution goes faster. You don't have to find the buttons for giving instructions.

Extra instructions Using extra instructions results in less typing Use for instance : repeat(number){instructions} repeat(4) { forward(1) right() } Same square, less work Script 2 forward(1) right() forward(1) right() forward(1) right() forward(1) right() Script 1

Question: Two squares How can you make the robot drive two squares? repeat(4) { forward(1) right() } Script 2

Answer: Two Squares It can be done in several ways: repeat(8) { forward(1) right() } repeat(2) { repeat(4) { forward(1) right() } Less boring than 16 mouseclicks in the remote control! Script 3 Script 4

Programming language How do you know what instructions you're allowed to use?  like: forward(1), left(), repeat,... You don't know in advance. It depends on the rules of the programming language. You'll have to read the documentation to find this out. There are many different programming languages.

End This is the end of this presentation Open the example scripts to explore the possibilities. Exercise: program a “dance” for the robot with repeat-loops. Tip: Use leftIsClear() and rightIsClear() to move the head of the robot.
