Obstacle Detection
In this activity, you will use two different sensors to make the robot perform the same behavior, but with a twist! With the Touch Sensor, you will program the robot to stop once it has run into an obstacle, and using the Ultrasonic Sensor, you will program it to stop before it runs into an obstacle. You will then explore the capabilities of the Ultrasonic Sensor.
Students will be able to:
Prerequisites:
Students will be able to:
- Program a robot using the LEGO MINDSTORMS programming environment to respond to the Touch Sensor as well as the Ultrasonic Sensor
- Understand how the Ultrasonic Sensor works and what it can and cannot detect well
- Compare the differences in robot behavior using the two sensors, and make judgments as to which is best is a given situation
- Build a Touch Sensor bumper and program the robot to stop when it hits something
- Calculate a threshold value for Ultrasonic Sensor levels
- Use the Ultrasonic Sensor and threshold to control the robot’s behavior
Prerequisites:
- Full Speed Ahead Activity
- Have Touch Sensor bumper attachments built
- Presented the Obstacle Detection Powerpoint
- Review calculating thresholds and using View Mode
