Robotics+and+Automated+Systems+Assessment

** Activity One **

** 1.a ** - In this task, it is clear to our group that we need to learn how to and make sure That the robot is built correctly - If it is not built correctly it may not receive the data or command and therefore will not perform the tasks required - If it is not built correctly it may not be stable and might fall apart - The cables have to be out of the way so they do not interfere with the wheels. - So no damage comes to the kits or the parts used to construct the robot Connection - Connection to the NXT programming interface must be enabled via Bluetooth, in order to download and complete predetermined commands The robot has to be charged - Energy is a basic requirement in the completion of tasks

** 1.b ** - I believe we need to complete pilot testing upon a carpet surface in order to account for the different forces at hand eg friction as friction is greater on carpet than smooth surfaces. Must be done inside where there will be no assistance by air currents or environmental factors. The 50 cm line has to be straight and exactly 50 cm all the way along for this task to work

** 1.c - Screen shot take **

** Activity Two **

** 2.a – ** In this task, it is clear to our group that we need to learn how to and make sure That the robot is not damaged and is still fully functional Programming - We have to know how to make the robot turn 360 degrees on the spot (a complete revolouition) - How to create another task - How many rotations of the wheels it needs to reach the right distance before turning around.

** 2.b - ** I believe we need to again test the practise under the same conditions as the final attempt eg same surface, no obstacles in the way The 50 cm line has to be straight and the exact right measurement for this task to work.

 * Activity Three **

** 3.a ** - In this task, it is clear to our group that we need to learn how to and make sure That the robot is not damaged in anyway and is still functional Make sure it s built properly The sensor has to be attached securely properly otherwise it could fall of and get destroyed or damaged Programming We need to know how to make the programming loop so the task pays over and over again continuously We need to test the sensor Make sure the sensor works before running the task in case sometime goes wrong so it is easier to find the problem and correct the situation.
 * 3.b - ** I believe we need to make sure the distance we program the sensor to stop at is in proportion to the obstacle.
