  1. Mimetics Canada Teaching with the Jade Robot Training Session 1 Myke predko

  2. about the Jade Robot • The Jade Robot is a Differentially Driven Mobile Robot • The Jade Robot is Powered by a Rechargeable Battery • Battery life is 8+ hours • The Jade Robot has the following “All Aspect” sensors: • Object Detection and Ranging • Light Levels • The Jade Robot has a Spectrometer and Line Sensor on the Bottom • There is an OLED based User Interface • Not a Touch Screen but uses Five Buttons for Navigating Apps and Selecting • On the User Interface are a Variety of Demonstration Applications • Programming Scratch & C is Accomplished using a Chrome Extension • Students login with their Microsoft Student Accounts • No Student data is Saved or Accessible outside the Chrome Extension

  3. What makes a Robot? A robot can do more than one task. A robot uses sensors to determine what to do next.

  4. Required Background for Teachers • Computer Operation with • GUI Interface Using Mouse or Trackpad • Google Chrome Browser • Google Classroom Login or Microsoft Login • Integer Math Operations • Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division with Remainder • Integer Math Comparisons • Equals, Not Equals, Less Than, Less Than or Equals to, Greater Than, Greater Than or Equals to • Plotting Two Dimensional Arrays • Basic Time and Motion Concepts • 1000 milliseconds (ms) = 1 second • Distance = Velocity * Time

  5. Top of the Jade Robot Expansion Adapter Front Left Object/Light Sensors Camera Port Front Right Object/Light Sensors I2C Expansion Port I2C Expansion Port Speaker Bluetooth Adapter OLED Display Reset on Jade Robot 1.5 USB Charging Port User Interface Buttons (Down Button to Wake Up) Rear Object/Light Sensors

  6. Bottom of the Jade Robot Servo Ports Spectrometer & Line LEDs and Sensors Charging LEDs (on Other Side with Jade 1.5)

  7. Getting Started Press and Hold the “Down” Button to Wake up the Robot • Navigate with the Up/Down/Left/Right Buttons • Select Activities with the Middle Button • Will have the “Main” Panel with Demonstration Apps

  8. Experiment with Basics • Spectrometer: • Test Different Materials • Responds to Oxygen, Hydrogen • Copper, Titanium & Iron • Remote Move: • Control Robot Movement • Observe how Tracks Move • Moth Mode: • Follow Light But NOT TOO CLOSE! • Note Field of View • Object Avoidance: • Stay Clear of Objects • Note Field of View

  9. Basic Facts • To Return to the Main Panel: • Select “Return” Icon & Press Middle Button • NOTE: Basic Apps Have Selected “Return” • Spectrometer: • Spectroscopy is Study of the Interaction of Matter & Energy • Remote Move: • Can also use a DVD Remote Control • Moth Mode: • First Robot Application by William Grey Walter • Object Avoidance: • Uses Infra-Red Light (Try Black Objects)

  10. Programming Creating a Sequence of Instructions for the Robot to Follow

  11. On Robot Programming • Navigate to “Program Demo” on the Main Panel • Found on Bottom Middle • Navigate to Arrows and Press the Middle Button to Record the Movement as a Step in the Program. • Navigate to the Circle Between the Arrows (“Start” will Appear on the Top Line) and Press the Middle Button to Execute the Program

  12. Break

  13. Jade RoBot Bluetooth Set Up 1 • Make Sure Bluetooth is on with the Jade Robot • Should be a Blue Flashing LED on Right Side of Robot • To Turn on Bluetooth, Navigate to Settings • And then “Bluetooth” • Turn On

  14. Jade Robot Bluetooth Set Up 2 Select this Box to Turn off Sleep Timeout • Turning off Sleep Timeout Is Recommended • Navigate to “Robot Name” • This is the Bluetooth “Friendly Name”
