Can you guess what these three robots are for?
Robots come in all shapes and sizes and are generally made for a specific job… Can you guess what these three robots are for? This robot ‘eats’ flies and mosquitos and as it ‘digests’ them it recharges its battery Sony’s Qrio can skateboard, navigate an assault course and has even conducted an orchestra These two robots are designed to mop and vacuum the floor.

Welcome to Science Week 2015!
Our focus though is on human-like robots or “Humanoid” robots. There have been many in the cinema and on TV – Can you name the shows or movies these came from? Robocop Star Trek IRobot Terminator Metropolis

Although this one’s job will eventually be fighting in a war
Along with humanoid robots we should also have ‘man’s best friend’ robots too… Although this one’s job will eventually be fighting in a war - so not exactly ‘man’s best friend’ after all!!!
4
Along with humanoid robots we should know about how useful robots are in making things for us …

Robotics Through the years
Robots in the real world have started to replace humans, especially in industry. They are quicker, more accurate, and they don’t need lunch breaks! They are used in many areas of manufacturing, technology, car making, defence and even fast food! They are also used where it would be too dangerous to send a human e.g. Bomb disposal and disaster relief situations.

Programming Sequencing Selection Loop/Iteration
7
Sequencing! 1. Sequencing is when you program something in a series of steps. Try this one. 2. Can you now create you own simple sequencing. Program the ROBOT to do something interesting and new. The End
8
Selection! 1. Selection is when your program allows a decision by the user to be made.. 2. Can you now create you own simple selection. Program the ROBOT to do something interesting and new.
9
Loop/Iteration! 1. Iteration/loop is when your program repeats an instruction . 2. Can you now create you own simple loop. Program the ROBOT to do something interesting and new.

Task sequencing selection iteration
A toy company has designed and manufactured the bot2000i. They would now like you to program the bot2000i for a young child. This will require using the buttons for inputs and all it’s functions. You will need to Pseudocode this first.

Pseudocode bot2000i Bot2000i: Pseudocode example
Open its mouth when triangle is turned off. Will turn on its right eye when you press the circle. When the antenna is turned on and delayed for more than 8 seconds it will open its mouth for 12 seconds. Open its mouth and start talking about the weather when triangle is pressed.

Example of a flow chart for the Robot.
13
Video Demo You need to demonstrate how a child might use your robot.
To do this you must create a demonstration of how your robot could be used by a young child. The demo must run without user interaction, last between two and four minutes and include: Two interesting facts about robotics information on how it works an embedded audio commentary to support the demo
