    • Why it is cool: It helps keep your house clean without anyone pushing

                           it.

                     2. Lego Robots

                            •  What it  does:  Kids  can  build  robots

                           using  Lego blocks.  Some  Lego robots
                           can move, make sounds, and even pick

                           things up.

                            •  How it works: You can program (give

                           instructions to) the Lego robot to do
                           certain  tasks, like move  forward  or

                           pick up small objects.

                            •  Why it is cool: You get to be a robot designer, making your very own
                           machine.

                     3. Self-Driving Cars

                            •  What it does: These cars can drive by themselves without a person

                           controlling them.

                            • How it works: The car uses cameras and sensors to “see” the road
                           and other cars. It “thinks” about where to go, and then its “acts” by

                           steering and moving on its own.

                            • Why it is cool: It is like a robot that takes you where you need to go.

                     4. Robot Arm

                            • What it does: This robot arm can pick up things, move them, and put
                           them down.

                                                                                         Introduction to Robotics  11
