Robotics Models Using LEGO WeDo 2.0: Design, Build, Program, Test, Document and Share - Softcover

The authors's expertise working in education, mathematics, programming, electronic, and robotics came together to produce this book. The methodology used is designed to help you discover new knowledge, that has been used historically in science. It relies on observation, measurement, experimentation and formulation, analysis, and modification of hypotheses. All activities are carried out following the methodology created by the authors called 5 phases of educational robotics (5PER), which are: design, construction, programming, testing and, finally, documenting and sharing

With Robotics Models Using LEGO WeDo 2.0 you'll create solutions to specific, tangible problems while building fun and engaging LEGO models and learning to program them to accomplish basic tasks.

What You'll Learn

• Create your own LEGO WeDo 2.0 inventions using the design principles in this book
  
• Understand the mechanics behind animal motions by developing robotic prototypes and how they interact with our environment through the use of sensors and actuators
• Solve problems by using an iconographic programming language for the implementation of algorithms

Who This Book Is For

LEGO enthusiasts and students who want to prototype solutions to challenges using mechanical and computer science engineering. Teachers and parents of younger LEGO enthusiasts will also find the book a helpful guide to introducing the world of robotics in a dynamic and fun way.
