Introduction to NXT

Many Different Types of Robots Different Types of Robots (Discussion: include student examples) Dangerous work, Dull (repetitive) work, Delicate (precision) work, Dirty work (hostile environments, beyond human capability), etc. Snake Robot

NXT Robotics Platform NXT Hardware NXT Firmware NXT Software NXT: Our Robotics Technology of Choice o Ask how many students have worked with Lego § Lego is the "manufacturer" of the NXT (first robot characteristic) o Explain we will explore hardware vs firmware vs software in future lessons § Hardware – what you can touch § Software – instructions programmer (student) gives robot § Firmware – instructions manufacturer (Lego) gives robot o We’ll be focusing on the hardware for the next few lessons

Building LEGO® Pieces o Hardware includes tradition Lego building pieces plus NXT parts

Building LEGO® Motors and Sensors Light Sensor § NXT sensors (light, touch, sound, ultrasonic) · Have students compare these to human senses · These are how NXT robots “sense their environment” (second robot characteristic) § NXT motors · Have students compare these to human capabilities (muscles) · These are one way NXT robots “respond to instructions” (third robot characteristic) Ultrasonic Sensor Touch Sensor Sound Sensor

Building LEGO® NXT LCD Display Screen Sensor Input Ports Motor Output Ports Navigation Buttons § NXT “brick” · Have students compare these to human capabilities (brain) · Controls motors, lights and LCD screen based on instructions and sensory input USB connection socket

Lego: Not Just a Toy Rubik’s Cube Solver Sudoku Solver Portrayer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fAn5A0HbhU&feature=player_embedded# Sudoku Solver http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp8Y2yjV4fU Portrayer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ogQuLdEcBY&feature=player_embedded o NXT – Although Lego, not just a toy § Show video examples of Rubik’s Cube Solver, Sudoku Solver and Portrait drawing NXT · Exact same hardware as students will use in class · Point out brick, motors and sensors in videos · More complex software than students will start with, but all within reach in advanced classes
