Basic Stamp 2 Robot Programming - ISL

6-38 Chapter Six
• Line following robot. Add some CDS Cells to the bottom of the robot to
follow a lighter or darker line on the floor.
• Firebot. Add a pyrometer (heat sensor) and a fan to your robot and see if
you can put out a candle burning in a room.
• Robot shadow. Come up with a way the robot will follow you and only you.
• Sound-activated robot. Add a microphone with an amplifier to control the
motion of the robot. A simple example of this would be starting and stopping
each time a loud noise was “heard.” Could you expand this to respond
differently to different sounds?
• Robot animal. Using the model of behaviors, can you create a program for
your robot so that it acts like an animal? Think about how you would model
concepts such as “food,” “shelter,” “danger,” and “prey.” These are questions
and problems that continue to confound roboticists. Maybe you have the
answers to “true” artificial intelligence.
