CCSS.E L A Literacy RST. 11-12.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account. CCSS.ELA Literacy.RST.9‐10.3 Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks, attending to special cases or exceptions defined in the text. CCSS.E LALiteracy.RST.11‐12.3 Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks; analyze the specific results based on explanations in the text

3. Agriculture, Food and Natural Resource Standards Addressed! PST.01.02. Apply physical science and engineering principles to design, implement and improve safe and efficient mechanical systems in AFNR situations. PST.01.02.01.c. Apply the scientific method to devise strategies to improve the efficiency of operation of AFNR related mechanical systems.

4. Bell Work / Student Learning Objectives Discuss robotics terms and explain how robots differ from other machines Describe some “Ag” functions of robots Explain robotic movements

5. Terms Axis Cartesian work area Cylindrical work area Hollow sphere working area Robot Robotics Rotation Solid sphere working area Translation

6. Interest Approach Think of some practical uses of a robot in the field of agriculture production and other related areas.

9. Robot A mechanical device that is capable of performing human tasks. Widely used in industry and becoming more common in agriculture. Powered by hydraulics, pneumatics, and electricity. A decline in the production agriculture work force is driving the development of robotics. Planting, cultivation, harvesting, pruning and spraying technology currently exists.

11. Robot – class project!

12. Robotics Term used to describe the application of robot technology.

14. Robots differ from other machines in these areas: 1)Robots are freely computer programmable. 2)Robots are able to do a variety of tasks. 3)Robots have a three dimensional freedom of motion. 4)Robots are equipped with grippers and/or tools.

16. Robotic tasks Robots can be built for a variety of tasks. They can do these tasks faster and more accurately than humans. Robots have precise movements and are able to repeat the exact same movements for extended periods of time.

18. Robotic functions Arranging parts Handling parts Distributing items Positioning tools and work pieces Moving tools in predetermined patterns Gripping, directing, and assembling Fastening, attaching, and detaching

19. Robotic motion Rotation – circular robotic motion Translation – linear robotic motion Axis – the straight line around which a body rotates The more axes the robot has, the more motions it can perform

20. Review/Summary What terms are commonly used when discussing robotics? How do robots differ from other machines? What are some common function of robots? What types of motion are robots capable of?
