Goal setting & mission Introduction to Robotics for YOU!

Objectives for session This presentation will ease you into the world of robotics 1Mission 2 Robotics – what is it? 3 Personal goal setting

Mission What is our main goal for the robotics team? 1

Mission statements matter because: Mission. Clarity of goals is needed for organizations to be healthy (Lencioni, 2012) The robotics team strives to be a healthy organization We want a mission statement that matters, meaning that the individuals within this organization have goals that support our mission

We will build individual goals so that you know exactly how you are helping to support our mission. Mission: The goal of our robotics team is to be a positive, professional environment where robotics can thrive. Learning robotics is important, but not as important as promoting teamwork and professionalism. More on mission

Fear not. We will work together to build personal goals. It will take more than one attempt to get it right, but the hard work is well worth it! Successful team work = better team! Collaboration

2 Robotics – what is it? How are robots built?

Mechanical, electrical, and software engineering form Robotics.

The field of robotics is composed of the engineering disciplines of: Mechanical engineering Electrical engineering Software engineering

Motors move robots with legs, wheels, treads or pivot points : Robots often have appendages and sensors to help them achieve their tasks Robots come in many shapes and sizes

Since robots are all different, the tools used to create a robot differ. Some common tools are: Screw driver Band saw File Pliers Drill Soldering iron Welding torch Wire cutters/strippers Tools for building robots

The process of building a robot is a creative process and an analytical process. Choices that are made will dictate the specifics of how each step is executed. Robot Build Process Analytical Engineering Build Fix Problem analysis What do we want the robot to do? Design Draw on paper or in CAD what the robot could look like Build Welding, drilling, screwing, hammering, soldering, filing Test Attempt to accomplish original goals Re-build/fix to completion STEPS STEPS :

3 Personal Goal Setting What is your role on the robotics team?

» Support the team mission with personal goals » Much like building a robot, goal setting is a creative process, as well as an analytical one. » Using the team mission as your compass, begin to think about some roles that you might play on the robotics team! GOAL SETTING

Organize with Sections Build your goal: Think about the mission of the robotics team. Using steps 1,2, and 3 write down a personal goal that supports the mission of the robotics team. Make it an action! Using what we just learned about robotics, what is something you would like to know more about? Write it down. First think of what you have to offer the robotics team. Write it down. Mission: The goal of our robotics team is to be a positive, professional environment where robotics can thrive.

What’s Your Message? Robotics is fun!
