1.  Sense: The robot’s eyes (sensors) see the toy on the floor.

                  2.  Think: The robot’s brain (AI) thinks, “I need to pick up the toy.” It plans
                      how to move its arm and where to go.

                  3.  Act: The robot moves toward the toy and picks it up with its hand. In just

                     three simple steps, the robot has helped you clean up.

                    Objective

                  Understand how robots work by using your senses (like a

                  robot’s sensors), thinking, and then acting.

                  What You Will Need


                      A blindfold

                      Classroom objects (like a pencil, book, or chair)

                  Steps


                  1.  Pick a Robot

                         One  person  is  chosen  to  be  the  “robot”  and  wears  the  blindfold.  This
                         person can’t see, just like how robots need sensors to understand the

                         world.
                  2.  Choose Sensors

                         Other classmates act as the “sensors.” They will guide the robot by giving

                         information. For example, they might say, “There’s a pencil on your left.”

                  3.  Robot Thinks

                         The robot listens to the sensors and thinks about what to do next. If the
                         sensors say there is a chair in front, the robot might think, “I need to
                         move around it.”

                  4.  Robot Acts

                         After thinking, the robot moves and performs the task, like picking up an

                         object or walking around the chair.
