page, expand the “Common Palette” by clicking on the “+” and choose “08. Drive in Square”. The Building Guide indicates the robot assembly required for the tutorial. “Drive in Square” requires the “driving base” completed in Task 2. The Programming Guide includes step-by-step instructions for completing the tutorial. Once you have completed the tutorial, download the program to your robot and test it. Make modifications as necessary to the parameters in your program until your robot drives in a square. Save your completed program as “SecXXX_TeamXX_DriveInSquare.rbt.” Task 4 – Modifying your robot Modify for your robot to include a light sensor and a bump sensor. Use steps 22 – 23 in the instruction manual to add the light sensor, and use steps 26 – 28 to add the bump sensor. Test your sensors by using implementing the programs on page 35 and 45, respectively. (Note that we have had difficulty in implementing the program on page 35.) Task 4H – Modifying your robot (Honors Students Only) Complete Task 4. In addition, modify for your robot to include an ultrasonic sensor. Use steps 20 – 21 in the instruction manual. Implement the program depicted on page 31 of the assembly guide. Task 5 – Completing the “Follow A Line” tutorial In groups of two, students should complete the “Follow A Line” tutorial. To access the tutorial, open the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT 2.1 Programming software. From the main page, expand the “Common Palette” by clicking on the “+” and choose “17. Follow A Line”. The Building Guide indicates the robot assembly required for the tutorial. “Follow A Line” requires the “driving base” completed in Task 2 and the “light module down” completed in Task 4. The Programming Guide includes step-by-step instructions for completing the tutorial. Once you have completed the tutorial, download the program to your robot and test it. Make modifications as necessary to the parameters in your program until your robot follows a line. Save your completed program as “SecXXX_TeamXX_FollowALine.rbt.” Task 6 – Completing the “Detect Touch” tutorial In groups of two, students should complete the “Detect Touch” tutorial. To access the tutorial, open the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT 2.1 Programming software. From the main page, expand the “Common Palette” by clicking on the “+” and choose “18. Detect Touch”. The Building Guide indicates the robot assembly required for the tutorial. “Detect Touch” requires the “driving base” completed in Task 2 and the “touch module front”. Note that in Task 4, you created the “touch module back” attachment, so you will need to modify your program accordingly. The Programming Guide includes step-by-step instructions for completing the tutorial. Once you have completed the tutorial, download the program to your robot and test it. Make modifications as necessary to the parameters in your program until your robot stops when the bump sensor encounters an object. Save your completed program as “SecXXX_TeamXX_DetectTouch.rbt.”
Task 6H – Completing the “Sensor Bumper” tutorial (Honors Students Only) Complete Task 6. In groups of two, students should also complete the “Sensor Bumper” tutorial. To access the tutorial, open the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT 2.1 Programming software. From the main page, expand the “Common Palette” by clicking on the “+” and choose “19. Sensor Bumper”. The Building Guide indicates the robot assembly required for the tutorial. “Sensor Bumper” requires the “driving base” completed in Task 2 as well as the “touch module back” and “ultrasonic module” completed in Task 4H. The Programming Guide includes step-by-step instructions for completing the tutorial. Once you have completed the tutorial, download the program to your robot and test it. Your program should drive forward until an ultrasonic sensor encounters an object then travel backward until the bumper sensor encounters an object. Modify your code so this action is repeated 3 times. Save your completed program as “SecXXX_TeamXX_SensorBumper.rbt.” Task 7 – Completing the “Calibrate Sensor” tutorial In groups of two, students should complete the “Calibrate Sensor” tutorial. To access the tutorial, open the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT 2.1 Programming software. From the main page, expand the “Complete Palette” by clicking on the “+” and choose “34. Calibrate Sensor”.The Building Guide indicates the robot assembly required for the tutorial. “Calibrate Sensor” requires the “driving base” completed in Task 2 and the “light module down” completed in Task 4. The Programming Guide includes step-by-step instructions for completing the tutorial. Once you have completed the tutorial, download the program to your robot and test it. Make modifications as necessary to the parameters in your program until your sensor is properly calibrated. Save your completed program as “SecXXX_TeamXX_CalibrateSensor.rbt.” Task 8 – Obtaining a quality resource Find a magazine article, journal article, government document, or book that shows a practical application of robotics. Provide a complete reference for the item. Include information from your reference in the Background portion of your technical report. Project Assessment (300 project points) Intermediate Deliverable 1 (50 points) Prior to the end of class on Wednesday, September 12 (sections 001 and 008) or Thursday, September 13 (sections 009 and 016) students should complete Tasks 1 – 3 and demonstrate completion of the tasks to their instructor or primary TA. Intermediate Deliverable 2 (10 points) Before class on Wednesday, September 19 (sections 001 and 008) or Thursday, September 13 (sections 009 and 016), each team should submit one e-mail containing all robot program files to their primary teaching assistant. (Students in the regular sections will submit 4 programs, and students in the honors sections will submit 5 programs). The sender of the e-mail should cc all teammates on the e-mail.
