Concepts

Understanding Motion: Learning about how objects move, the concepts of speed and direction,
and how these apply to the movement of the robo car.

Measurement Techniques: Using measurements to program the car for distance and speed.

Components of a Robot: Learning about the various parts of a robo car, such as motors, wheels,
and control systems.
Understanding Angles and Directions: Learning about angles as the robo car navigates turns
and obstacles.

Observations

In the “Robo Car” activity in Mechatron, students observe how to build and program a small robotic
car that can navigate its environment. As they assemble the components, including motors and
wheels, they learn about the basic mechanics of movement. Once the car is built, students can
control its direction and speed, using remote to avoid obstacles.

This hands-on experience not only reinforces concepts of robotics and programming but also
encourages teamwork and problem-solving as they troubleshoot any issues that arise. Overall, the
activity enhances their understanding of engineering principles and the practical applications of
technology in everyday life.

Application

Transportation: Cars are mainly used to transport
people from one place to another. You can go to school,
visit friends, or go on vacations with your family in a car.

Public Transport: Cars can also be used as part of public
transportation, like buses or shuttles, to help many people travel
to work, school, or other places.
