Learn Robotics with Free Lessons & Tips

Rover is the vehicle that we send to the places where a human can't go easily. These places include deep caves on earth as well as the moon and other planets like Mars. We use them to conduct many scientific experiments and gather data from those places. Now we are going to make a model of Rover using Lego parts that can also move around.

What is Robotics?

A robot is a mechanical device, that can be programmed to follow a set of instructions. We use lots of machines in our day to day lives. All these are nothing but robots. It is essential for everybody to understand mechanisms and functioning of these machines.

Why should kids learn robotics?

Robotics is a field where students can apply the theory they have learned in schools to practically build and implement machines/mechanisms. Its a perfect blend of theoretical knowledge and application of that knowledge in day to day lives.

Through Robotics one can learn Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology concepts. Robotics offers an opportunity to integrate technology into a curriculum in a way that students find it interesting. 

It enhances Critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Student develops team working spirit.

In Robotics, students learn to program Robots and give them a set  of accurate instructions to follow. This develops programming skills in the student which kids otherwise finds complicated and boring. Through Robotics they develop better programming skills. Students get to handles processor, sensors, motors, gears etc. All simple and complex mechanisms can be understood directly by implementing and having hands-on experience of same.

In robotics, as students can build, program and run a Robot develop by them; they find it fun and interesting. It builds positive competitiveness among kids as they participate in a range of national and international level Robotics competitions.

This technology knowledge that they get by self-experimenting is a lifetime asset for them.

An electrical or mechanical or electromechanical, programmable or non programmable multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.

1. Have a quick revision of topics that you have read in past three days before you start studying a new topic.

2. Make your own notes containing the summary of the topic.

3. Allot proper timing for the topic.

6. Take short breaks to recharge yourself.

7. Have a look on what type of learner you are. Some learn faster by listening, some by seeing and other by doing. Identify the which category you belong to.

8. Create mind maps and correlate the topic with the things you have seen.

9. Take self-assessments to understand how much you have learnt.

10. Last but not the least, take help at the points where you got struck
