ROBOT By Mathias Agbenokoudji Media and IT Dept Carshalton College
What is a robot? • A robot is just a computer that can perform a series of complex tasks automatically. • Robots use a central computer to process information, as well as input and output devices to react and to carry out tasks. • You may have robots in your home right now.
Because a robot is a machine we have to program it to do things. It only does what we tell it to do. How do you program a robot?
Programmable board Arduino is used for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world. The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse.
Microcontroller A microcontroller is an integrated circuit that is programmed to do a specific task.

Projects
Making instructions • When you learn to code you can make things happen on your computer. • Computer code is a set of rules or instructions. • Computer programs are made out of their own special language called code. ‘Please walk Mr Mouse’
• A computer can’t think for itself and you can’t talk to it like a person. It needs computer programmes so it knows what to do. ‘Step 100, backwards’
