Little Robot Course
Build, program, and teach robotics step by step.
In this course, you will learn how to:
Control motors with encoders and make the robot drive accurately. You will learn how to use encoder motors to control the robot’s movement with precision. Instead of simply turning motors on and off, the robot can measure wheel rotation, drive a specific distance, keep a stable speed, and make more accurate turns.
Follow a line on the mat. You will learn how to use line sensors to detect the black line and keep the robot moving along the correct path. The robot will read the surface under the sensors, understand where the line is, and adjust motor speed to stay on track.
Control the gripper and lifting mechanism. You will learn how to control the robot’s gripper and lift using servo motors. The robot will be able to grab objects, lift them, move them to another place, and release them at the right moment.
Use the motion sensor for precise turns. You will learn how to use the motion sensor to measure the robot’s rotation and make accurate turns. Instead of turning only by motor time, the robot can track its angle and stop at the right position.
Detect colors with smart sensors. You will learn how to use smart color sensors to detect different colors on the mat and on mission objects. The robot can recognize colors, make decisions based on them, and react automatically during a mission.
Assemble the robot step by step. You will build the Little Robot using a clear step-by-step instruction. Each part of the assembly is explained in order, so you can easily follow the process. Every step is also supported by a video guide, making it easier to understand how each part should be installed.
Write your first robot program. You will start programming the Little Robot in Arduino IDE using ready-made Barigadam libraries. The course includes a detailed programming guide with explanations of all main functions, so you can build your own robot logic. You will also get real code examples, including solving WRO Elementary tasks.
Complete real autonomous robot missions. You will combine everything you learned into full autonomous missions. The robot will drive accurately, follow lines, detect colors, turn with the motion sensor, and use the gripper and the elevator to interact with objects on the mat.
