Curriculum For Class 10
ROBOTICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (SUBJECT CODE 66)
CLASS – X
Aims:
1. To develop an understanding of concepts and applications in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
2. To develop competencies in Robotics and AI via classroom instruction, laboratory and self-directed project-based learning
approach.
3. To facilitate appreciation, understanding and application of concepts of Robotics and AI through learning and engaging in
hands-on activities.
4. To instill AI-Readiness skills in students vide key concepts in AI, such as, Data, Computer Vision and Natural Language
Processing.
5. To introduce the students to the concepts of AI Project Framework.
6. To familiarize students with computational skills (basic Python coding language).
7. To create awareness about ethical considerations of AI.
THEORY-100 Marks
There will be one written paper of two hours duration carrying 100 marks and internal assessment of 100 marks.
PART I
ROBOTICS
Note: Key concepts of Class IX need to be revised as a prerequisite.
1. New Age Robotic Systems
Warehouse Robots, Assistant Robots, Smart Homes, Smart Schools, Smart mobility, Autonomous Cars/Driver Assisted
Cars, Autonomous Drones, Robotics for Medicine and Healthcare, any other (give examples). Why NARS are relevant and
possible. Some common examples of robotic systems such as, elevator.
2. From Robots to Cobots
(i) Difference between a machine and a robot.
Difference between a machine and a robot: an understanding of how a robot must continuously sense, maintain a
certain speed and do a certain task that it is programmed to do, using examples; identification of machine/robot
through illustrations.
(ii) Cobots
Meaning of Cobots (as robotic systems with humans in the loop, emphasizing the provision for human interaction
and a multi robot system); difference between Cobot and Robot, importance of cobots, a brief understanding of the
progress from Robots to Cobots.
3. Components of Robots as a System
(i) Introduction to Gears.
Use of gears in robots- transmission and amplification of force, principles of gears, types of gears, gear ratio (brief
understanding with examples).
(ii) Sensors in Robotics.
Types of Sensors based on application (Vision, tactile, temperature, range and proximity detection, motion, navigation,
speech recognition) with examples only.
Classification of sensors as Internal Sensors (Position, Velocity, Acceleration and Force Sensors) and External Sensors
(Contact type, Non-contact Type Sensors). Functions of sensors.
(iii) Actuators
Brief understanding of actuators and their application; types of actuators (linear and rotary) with examples such as
joints and wheels.
