Robotics at School and at Home, Robotics Self-Study Book

The book is written based on the experience of working with students in grades 3-11. Materials are optimized for self-study and for robotics classes in educational institutions. The programming of mobile robots on the Arduino platform in Scratch-like visual environments mBlock, MindPlus and Snap4arduino is considered. The creation of more than 30 gaming and educational projects in two modes: interactive and offline is described. The complexity of the projects is growing from introductory, for elementary school students, to competitive ones. The problems of orientation and navigation of the robot with the help of line sensors, a gyroscope and a swivel head with ultrasonic and IR rangefinders and other projects are considered. Examples of simulation projects that do not require a real robot are given.
