ROBOMASTERS

Advanced Robotics – mBot2 + AI (Ages 13-18)

Workshop Description

RoboMasters is an advanced robotics workshop where students program intelligent robots using sensors, AI tools, and Python-enhanced logic. Learners tackle complex challenges—including autonomous navigation and delivery tasks—using real engineering principles.

Objectives

  • Deepen robotics skills using advanced sensors and control systems

  • Introduce AI concepts such as speech, vision, and recognition

  • Strengthen computational thinking, independence, and innovation

Topics Covered

  • mBot2 assembly, CyberPi, encoders, and sensor integration

  • Logic structures: loops, conditions, decision trees

  • AI tools: voice commands, face/object detection

  • Blocks-to-Python transition and hybrid programming

  • Advanced challenges: maze solving, autonomous delivery bots

Course Objectives

By the end of the program, students will:

  • Master precision movement and sensor-based decision-making

  • Use AI features to create reactive, intelligent robot behaviors

  • Write and adjust programs in both block and Python modes

  • Design and complete a multi-step autonomous robotics challenge

  • Communicate their design choices during a final showcase

Course Outcomes

Participants complete the workshop with:

  • A high-functioning autonomous robot challenge project

  • Strong robotics and early AI literacy

  • Confidence in Python fundamentals

  • Teamwork, debugging, and systems-thinking skills

  • Recognition awards and certificates
