Students Explore Technology
with the Mobile Robotics Construction Set
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your students will learn about Mechanical and Electronic design, computer programming and of course, robotics technology.
Imagine the excitement of your students designing and building their own robots
to compete with fellow classmates in carefully selected robot contests.
Students experiment with different designs, building state-of-the-art intelligent robots easily and quickly, limited only by their own imagination.
The components were carefully designed by a team of professional robotics engineers to allow students to explore the future.

The Software Architecture is based on the three levels of intelligence found in the Human Brain...
 
Cerebral Cortex-Physically the outer layer of the brain, which is characterized by the folds just under the skull. Functions include: Decision making, analysis, and dreaming. This is called the Goal Level in the intelligent operating system.
Limbic System-The gray matter found in the center of the brain controls human behavior such as breathing, hunger, etc. This is called Behavior Level. Real-time decisions are made and simple or complex actions are triggered.
Brain Stem-The base of the brain connected to the spinal cord and nervous system. This level controls our critical responses and instinctive behavior giving the machine common sense. This is called Instinct Level. Motor/sensor fusion at this level allows the machine to instantly react to its environment. The Behavior and Goal levels can change the way this level reacts at any time.
Consider what happens when you are cooking and you touch something hot. Your skin feels the heat and your muscles immediately pull your hand away (Instinct Level). A message is sent to your brain (pain) which causes your brain to make decisions on what actions are to be taken next (Behavior Level). After you have taken care of your burned finger, you resume your original task(Goal Level).
