Pan American Charter School

Why Study Robotics?

• Robotics is an excellent way to introduce the students to integrated STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)

• Students participating in robotics learn about STEM careers and experience the same activities as professionals solving real-world problems

• Everyone – girls and boys alike – should get a chance to see how much fun it is learning engineering skills this way!

VISION:

To develop a clear understanding of the computational and engineering related issues underlying the perception, planning and control mechanisms for completely autonomous or semi-autonomous operation of integrated systems.

USE of Robotics in Various Fields

Factory Automation with industrial robots for palletizing food products like bread and toast at a bakery in Germany

USE of Robotics in Various Fields

Industrial robot operating in a foundry

Medicine (Robotic Hands), Defense (Bomb Squads), Climbing difficult terrains, under sea exploration and more..

Material handling: Picking, packing, and palletizingMaterial remover: Cutting, Grinding, PolishingWelding, Inspection of equipments (with visual cameras)

The Engineering Design Process (EDP) which is a framework used in nearly all engineering problems is also used in Robotics Design.

After students have learnt the basics, then what?

• There are lots of robotics competitions in which kids can participate, such as FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and Botball. Some are local, some statewide, some are regional.

• The tournaments tend to include multipart, real-world problems and research and occur over specific time periods (for instance, the FLL challenge is released in mid-Sept. each year. Competitions occur from Nov. through Feb.).
