Step 8 Connect the motors and ultrasonic module to the controller board (brain module) using
connecting wires. Then, plug in the adapter to power up the robot.
Algorithm
Light directly ahead:
robot drives straight.
Output
The Light Follower Robot operates by detecting light sources and moving towards them. It uses its
light sensors to recognize where the light is coming from and adjusts its movement accordingly. This
demonstrates how robots can respond to external stimuli like light and be programmed to perform
specific actions based on what they “see.”
Concepts
Light Detection and Response: Students will understand how sensors, like light sensors, detect
light intensity and send signals to the robot’s controller to drive towards the light source. This
connects to the science of light and how it’s perceived by sensors.
