Autobot Course

Autobot: Arduino, electronics and automation

AutoBot is suitable for students aged 12 and over who want to delve deeper into robotics, programming and electronics. The trail puts the student in contact with Arduino, sensors, actuators and real automation projects, developing technical autonomy and cause and effect reasoning.

Presentation

From code to system

In Autobot, the student understands how sensors, LEDs, displays, motors and other electronic components connect to Arduino to create functional and intelligent systems.

The course increases autonomy in programming and helps the student to understand, in practice, the relationship between digital commands and physical responses in the real world.

Skills

What develops

  • Logical reasoning and computational thinking.
  • Practical notions of electronics and automation.
  • Autonomy in programming with Arduino.
  • Planning, organization and responsibility.
  • Ability to analyze and solve real problems.
Worked pillars

From component to working system

Components and assembly

The student organizes sensors, LEDs, displays, motors and other components to assemble functional circuits.

Sensors and responses

The projects show how information captured by a sensor can generate action in the physical world.

Logic and programming

The student creates, interprets and adjusts codes, understanding how they affect the assembled system.

Technical autonomy

Challenges encourage decision making, error analysis and gradual improvement of the solution.

What are the classes like?

Concept, circuit and test

AutoBot classes are practical and progressive. The student knows an electronics or programming concept, assembles the circuit, writes or adjusts the code and tests the project's operation.

Along the way, he increasingly understands how hardware and software depend on each other to generate consistent technological responses.

Applications

Projects and themes

Reference projects

Morse code, color generator, 7-segment display, potentiometer play and ultrasonic sensor show the track progression.

System reading and response

The student understands how sensors capture information and how Arduino processes commands to generate actions in the physical world.

Circuits and automation

Analog inputs, PWM, libraries and component integration appear in a practical and contextualized way.

Base for new creations

The course strengthens a more mature view of technology, engineering and the development of functional solutions.
