• Vietnam• Malaysia• Indonesia• Thailand• Singapore• Korea• Japan
What to study?
MECHANICS (Science & Math)or just buy a kit
ELECTRONICS – very basicPROGRAMMING – very
importantENVIRONMENT and INTERFACE
They all work together as one.
Why study robotics?
• Robotics can be an end – for engineersBUT they need to program!
• It can be a means to learn programming, embedded systems, operating systems, real-time systems, etc.
Do you need to know mechanics?
• To star it, NO!• Use a pre-built or follow a “how-
to” pattern of building and focus on programming.
• To improve, YES!• Change Tires, change body,
change structure, etc.
Do you need to know electronics?
• NO! USE Pre-built ones.• YES, the basics of electricity and
electronics to ADD to the circuit.• For advanced programming, and
building of your own libraries• Better electronics can also
improve design.
Robotics in the IT Programs
Is it another subject?
NO!
Programming Courses
• Study of Programming– Make robots move
(instead of mere input/output)– Sense environments and
build conditions– Learn state transitions and
automata by example– Use loops, events, triggers from a
real environment.
Network & Communication
(Multiple robot controllers)
Use of bluetooth, Xbee, RF, etc to control them remotely
Use of Wifi or Ethernet shields
Add web and network programming for IP-based robots (cameras, home controls, etc).
Computer Architecture
• Learn computer electronics and make your own libraries (midway between C and Assembly)
• Study of interrupts and bus architectures
• Firmware programming
Areas for research
• Study of Algorithms• Navigation and Planning• Video & Audio Processing• Collaborative Robots &
Computing• Embedded systems• Real time systems
Robotics in the IT Programs
Is it another subject?
NO!
Why study robotics?
Why Study Robotics?
• Most Bought Robot in the world• Home/Building Controls• Cleaning Pools• Washing Windows• Robot Window Washer• Robot Cleaning Pipes

NATONAL and Regional SUMOBOT
PSITE SUMOBOT 2012
Teacher’s Edition
• Sustaining teacher training and praxis
• Good modeling for students• Starting point for possible
curriculum use and integration.• Starting point for possible
research and research grants
PSITE SUMOBOT 2012
• PSITE hold regional contests• Pinoy Robot Games maintain a
National Tally Board (for scores)and official rules of the contest.
• Pinoy Robot Games hold the NATIONAL CONTEST
