Study Notes
Robot Programming: Sound Sensor
-
Session 1 Objectives: Students should be able to explain the use of sound sensors in robotics, describe how a sound sensor works, use code blocks to program a sound sensor, and create a device that uses a sound sensor as an alarm.
-
Engage Activity: Identify robot sensors (G, A, N, C, E, F, E).
-
Explore Activity Questions:
- Is sound important?
- Why or why not?
- What does sound/music give to us?
-
Explain (Session 1):
- The Me Auriga board has a built-in sound sensor, allowing sound wave measurement without external sensors.
- The sound sensor is an input device that converts sound waves into electrical signals using a microphone.
- It measures the intensity of sound waves, unlike ultrasonic sensors that measure distance.
- Key programming blocks for the Land Raider sound sensor are needed.
-
Explain (Session 1): Programming Blocks:
- Open Console: Opens a display window to show sound intensity (in decibels).
- Print: Displays the sound sensor's value (intensity) in the debug window.
- Sound Sensor On-Board Loudness: Measures sound loudness using the built-in sensor.
- When Starts Up: Starts a code block when the program first starts.
- Forever: Loops a code block repeatedly during the entire program.
-
Explain (Session 1): Programming Steps:
- Open the Miranda Simulator
- Select the scene (Creators 2: L7-S1-Programming a Robot: Sound Sensor).
- Drag and connect command blocks.
- Enter the appropriate values in each block.
- Click Run to start the simulation.
- Record the output and submit.
-
Elaborate (Session 1):
- Sound intensity measurements in the Miranda simulator are specific to the particular scene; they will vary between simulations.
-
Evaluate (Session 1, Part A): True/False Questions:
- Sound sensors detect sound waves through microphones. (True)
- Sound sensors convert sound waves to electrical signals. (True)
- The Forever Block measures sound intensity changes. (False)
- External sound sensors are needed to program the Land Raider. (False)
-
Evaluate (Session 1, Part B): Correct Block Combinations:
- For measuring sound intensity only at the start of the simulation, use "When starts up," "Open console," and "Print sound sensor on-board loudness". (B)
- For measuring sound intensity while a key is pressed, consider the block combination "When a key is pressed", "Open console", and "Print sound sensor on-board loudness. (B)
-
Evaluate (Session 1, Part C): Correct Blocks for Sound Intensity: The block combination that shows the sound wave intensity is "When o key is pressed", "Open console", and "Print sound sensor on-board loudness". (A)
-
Evaluate (Session 1, Part D): Robot Output Actions: The correct answer is "The robot turns left and shows the value of sound intensity at the same time." (B)
-
Evaluate (Part E): Print Statement: The Print "sound sensor on-board loudness" block is the one to print the sound intensity value.
Robot Programming: Sound Sensor (Session 2)
-
Guided Activity (Session 2):
- The robot programs an ultrasonic sensor to automatically move and react on obstacles it detects when their distance is less than 15cm away from the sensor.
- When it detects an obstacle (closer than 15 cm), it stops for one second and moves backward for two seconds, then turns left for one second.
- If the obstacle is further away (farther than 15cm), it moves forward.
-
Guided Activity (Session 2, Part B): Programming steps for the Miranda Simulator.
- Open the Miranda application and enter the correct connection code, username, and password.
- Use the cloud icon to open the necessary scene.
- Select the scene: Creators 2: L7-S1-Programming a Robot: Sound Sensor.
-
Independent Activity (Session 2):
- Emergency robots use sound sensors to detect noise, helping them locate and rescue individuals.
- The objective is to program a robot that moves forward if it detects sound waves higher than 25 decibels.
- Key questions to answer:
- What blocks are needed?
- How to use these blocks to detect sound intensity?
- What is the lowest and highest sound intensity this sensor can detect?
-
Independent Activity (Session 2, part B): Questions to answer
- What operator to use for comparing decibel intensity?
- What would happen if the robot only had the Move Forward block outside the Forever Block?
- Can the Less Than Block be used for conditional statements?
- What happens if the calculated sound intensity is below the set value?
- What happens if the decibel value is set to its maximum range allowed?
-
Independent Activity (Session 2, part C): Rubric
- Criteria for grading robot program using the Miranda Simulator.
- Focus areas: Understanding of variables, program efficiency, and ability to follow instructions. A rubric is available to score.
