Build 12 robotics models using LEGO WeDo 2.0. This book features models created especially to
introduce LEGO enthusiasts to hardware and software concepts while creating robots inspired by
natural wildlife. You'll learn the basics behind different mechanisms and principals required
to build walking robots. Simultaneously make your model come to life by incorporating powerful
yet simple programming techniques. For every model go through all the phases to explore each
robot's functionality solve problems using creativity identify issues and propose solutions.
The authors's expertise working in education mathematics programming electronic and
robotics came together to produce this book. The methodology used is designed to help you
discover new knowledge that has been used historically in science. It relies on observation
measurement experimentation and formulation analysis and modification of hypotheses. All
activities are carried out following the methodology created by the authors called 5 phases of
educational robotics (5PER) which are: design construction programming testing and finally
documenting and sharing With Robotics Models Using LEGO WeDo 2.0 you'll create solutions to
specific tangible problems while building fun and engaging LEGO models and learning to program
them to accomplish basic tasks. What You'll Learn Create your own LEGO WeDo 2.0 inventions
using the design principles in this book Understand the mechanics behind animal motions by
developing robotic prototypes and how they interact with our environment through the use of
sensors and actuators Solve problems by using an iconographic programming language for the
implementation of algorithms Who This Book Is For LEGO enthusiasts and students who want to
prototype solutions to challenges using mechanical and computer science engineering. Teachers
and parents of younger LEGO enthusiasts will also find the book a helpful guide to introducing
the world of robotics in a dynamic and fun way.
