Students will learn how the Quacky Duck Bot can be controlled using a sensor. The teacher will first explain the concept and show how the sensor can detect an object or action.
Then, step-by-step, the children will connect the sensor, battery, and motor to complete the circuit. When the sensor detects an object, Quacky starts moving, helping them understand how sensors can make a robot respond automatically.
This lesson introduces the concept of controlling the Quacky Duck Bot using a sensor. It demonstrates how a sensor can detect an object or action and automatically control the movement of the robot.
In this activity, the Quacky Bot is connected to a battery, motor driver, and a sensor module. When the sensor detects an object or action, the motor activates and Quacky begins to move, showing how sensors can make robots respond automatically.
Through this activity, you will explore:
Basic understanding of sensors in robotics
How a sensor can control a motor
How robots can respond to their surroundings
To build the sensor controlled Quacky Bot, the following materials are used:
