investigate

The parts of designing a robot: are that you can program the robot as you want for example you can program the robot to follow a white line for an easy example it could be just moving forwards and back wards for the middle of programming a robot it could be moving forwards left right and more steps, the hardest one would be searching a white line then following the white line so if it starts 30cm away and you say go 5 steps and it wont find it, then it goes back then it moves 20 degrees and goes 5 steps if it didn't find it it goes back it does that till it finds it did a full circles it will go 10 steps then if it found it on 7 steps it will stop and see if there is more on the 8th step if not it move's back then goes 20degrees or 40 degrees if it finds the white line it will follow the line till it ends, there is your hardest program.

Robotics





SENCES


Sensor
This picture shows you a camera which is the proximity sensor it can be used to move away from objects in there way example
if the robot is moving towards a wall the robot will sense this and automatically turn around and move away from the wall, there are different kinds of sensors another example is a light sensor when there is not enough light the sensor turns on and produces light with its energy source which could be a battery, here below is a picture of a light sensor.






sense information about environment






DECIDES
Processors

1. Decides on what action to take based on sensors information
ACTS


Actuators
1. Control gear, levers, wheels, pully's and other output devices to get the job done



For the robot you need sences so it will have to be able to sense information about the environment it is in.
The robot will need processors which means you will have to program it to do what you want e.g. following the
white line or in a boundary you can program robots to do many things , like guarding orders so the robot would
guard what you want. the robot you build will need Actuators so it will need the pieces so the control gears, levers
wheels, pully's and other output devices to get the job finished the robot will need gears and wheels to move and all
the other things to move and do the things it was processed to do, but to do all the things the robot will need a battery.

Evaluation

for our project we did the E-book this is an electronic book e.g you can download ANY book on it so you save paper(trees) and ink. We investigated the E-book on the Internet we had found many information.Also we did a plan so we would gather pictures and then make a voice thread,also an animoto we had put our animoto in our voice thread to make it better than before.

In our voice thread we had some problems we had lost all of pictures when we wanted to do it,so it didn't save our work. After when we did the animoto we had to technical difficulties everything went good! We were relived that we didn't have any problems.

overall we did very good we were happy with our work that we had done, the strength's of our story were there was a good begining, we had good pictures and also we could explain it very good, exspecally the the animoto was very good. What we could have done better is that we should have bookmark the tags on delicious this would have done it better. I recommend this product for next year this is beacause you can get good information on it and it is very helpful in classrooms.

How we did our project about the E-Book

Our project was not that hard but not that easy because you had to do a lot,our group worked the best of our abilities though,our project was about the E-Book.Firstly we gathered all our pictures then we made an animoto video this is very easy because you only have to put the pictures and then anitmoto makes it look fantastic.After this we did our voice thread this was easy too because we could import our animoto into voice thread this made a very nice start to our voice thread.But it wasn't all ways that easy on voice thread because we had to record our voice on it and we had some problems like the Nice behind us was to loud we laughed or we blew into the microphone when we were recoding.Overall i think we did really good though and i think this project was the hardest of all our projects because t was so long and it wasn't that easy sometimes.

my voicethread and animoto

For the projet in I.T we have created an voicethread and an animoto,we had luck beacause we could put our animoto on voicethread as an introduction. The voice thread ended up really good at the end.

Design

This E-book could be used for the subject English this will be because if u need books you can download them on your E-book and read them from there, this is better because then you can not kill trees which is the environment. I think every student should need an E-book because it would help the with homework and they could download as many book as they need to read or to help them. The E-book could improve the lesson because you wouldn't kill lots of trees and it would be fun to use one of the new technology also that if the children don't get something they might have a chance at home to get the information then for this to happen the children would learn more and this will let the teacher teach faster so this is how the E-book can add value to the lesson.
My last point is that when you walk into the class room my teacher will say ' okay here are the E-books, now download this comprehension book please and read the this story and answer #1,2, and 3



the good things are :



  • that you don't waste paper

  • it is new technology

  • it is fun to use

  • you can download any book in seconds

  • save money

  • it only cost $100-$400 this is cheap because it can carry 160 books on it and you can delete any book you have downloaded, and because if you buy 160 books it will cost you lots more than $400
