Robotics - toys for Bachelor students

October 11th, 2007

Due to the faculty specifics, most of the forth course classmates took & Automation course this semester.

For catching up the idea of automation procedures, the teacher gave us a small NXT Robot to play around. I couldn’t remember when was the last time I did these stuff, however this amazed me a lot.

This small “toy” is equipped with:

  • Light Sensor (black and white spectrum)
  • Ultrasound Sensor
  • Bump Sensor
  • Sound Sensor

Lots of things to play around, especially taking in account the programmatic aspects of generation and Open Source C compiler for these robots: RobotC project.
