Robotics: Building Smart Machines
Learn to design, build, and program robots that can sense, think, and interact with the world around them.
What You'll Learn
- Understand the fundamental principles of robotics and automation
- Design and build mechanical systems using various materials and techniques
- Program robots using block-based and text-based programming languages
- Work with sensors to help robots perceive and interact with their environment
- Apply engineering design principles to solve real-world problems
Why Study Robotics?
Robotics is where mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science come together to create machines that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously. Learning robotics helps develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills while providing hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology.
From industrial automation to space exploration, healthcare to entertainment, robots are transforming our world. By studying robotics, you'll gain insights into this rapidly evolving field and develop skills that are in high demand across many industries.
Module Structure
This module is divided into 4 units, each focusing on a key aspect of robotics. You'll start with the basics of robot design and gradually progress to more advanced concepts like autonomous navigation and artificial intelligence. Each unit includes hands-on projects where you'll apply what you've learned to build and program working robots.
