New to Mobile Robot & Coding?

Don't worry! This kit comes with a booklet covering all the hands-on lessons you need to get started. Every step is explained clearly with the help of images. We make sure that the common issues when building and coding the Arduino mobile robot are properly addressed in this booklet. Besides it comes with fun facts to feed the curious minds too.

No Soldering! Just Jumper Wires

There is no soldering involved in order for more young makers to take part in the building process. To make things even simpler, the detailed schematic diagram and mounting location of the parts are printed inside the box. Hence you can build and connect with greater confidence as you embark on this digital making journey.



This mobile robot kit is based on Maker UNO (Arduino Uno compatible).

Box = Mobile Robot Base

We designed the packaging box of PikaBot to be reusable. Not only that it's used for packing the complete set of components needed for the project, it serves as the robot base and cover of your PikaBot mobile robot too.

Line Following & Obstacle Avoidance

What can your PikaBot do? It can follow line, simple yet practical navigation that is widely used in AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) and many robot competition. The kit comes with a pair of infrared sensors which you can calibrate & program to recognize black and white surfaces. PikaBot also includes an ultrasonic distance sensor so it can detect obstacles in front of it.

mBlock Graphical Programming Interface

Besides using the Arduino IDE as taught in our user guide booklet, you can also program PikaBot with mBlock block-based programmming interface. Check out this tutorial to learn more.

Telegram Stickers!

Last but not least, we've designed some expressive PikaBot stickers for Telegram messenger for all you PikaBot lovers! If you are a Telegram user, grab the sticker pack here: https://t.me/addstickers/cytron_pikabot. Have fun!

1. Most of the students do not have basic knowledge in electronics.



2. They do not understand the circuit diagram at the beginning of the Arduino lesson. They will spend a substantial amount of time just to connect the wires and troubleshoot the connections.

3. It's a mess after every class. The teacher has to sort and make sure nothing is missing. What a tedious job and a waste of time! 

Students can skip the hassle of constructing the basic electronic circuit which is boring and time consuming. Although it is equally important for them to learn about basic electronics, it can always come later after they have experienced how easy it is to create awesome project. Start with fun and excitement. Start coding right away and see your board lights up and plays melody with the press of a button. 



With the conventional Arduino boards, students also face another common problem - difficulty in troubleshooting their circuit. This is because when it doesn't work, we do not know whether the problem is due to wire connection or coding.



With Maker UNO, the problem is solved! Not only do the onboard LEDs work as outputs, they can also act as indicators, clearly showing what's happening on that pin. When the pin is used as input, you can clearly see whether the signal is received by just looking at changes on the LEDs. 

Additional Features

One of the brilliant features of the official Arduino Uno is the label printed on its pin headers. It saves us a lot of time when we want to connect the I/O pins to the external circuit. So, we include a set of these label stickers for pin headers in each of the Maker UNO! (Please note that you need to peel off the stickers and stick them on your Maker UNO by yourself)



Students always get their boards mixed up. With Maker UNO, you can write your name on the board. Problem solved!



Maker UNO uses the common Micro USB cable which is basically everywhere.



Don't throw your box away! There is a small opening on the box for you to plug the USB cable so that you can keep your Maker UNO safely in the original box, no additional casing required.

Specifications

Maker UNO is fully compatible with Arduino. You can share the same library and code. We put in 12x LEDs, 1x piezo buzzer and 1x programmable button on the Maker UNO. We have removed the DC jack power input socket as most of the boards used in classes are powered using USB. We have also replaced the ATmega16u2 with CH340 to bring down the cost.

Description

This package offers a year-long robotics course. The course commences with the fundamentals of robotics and coding as well as the importance of simulation.

Once the fundamentals are covered, students take part in a practical project where they’re required to build an automated hand sanitiser. An infra-red sensor will detect a hand and the system will discharge a small amount of soap or sanitiser. The second project in the course is a practical project called the Home Automation System. In this project, students will demonstrate the practical application of servo motors, temperature sensors, infrared sensors, fans, buzzers, lighting and a security system feature in a home automation system.

After completing these two practical projects, the course will introduce students to the world's most popular coding language: Python. Throughout the course, students will learn how to develop several applications such as Tic Tac Toe, Hangman and Pong. They’ll also be introduced to libraries such as Turtle to help grow their understanding of how programming works and how code is read by the computer.

OVERVIEW:

The Resolute Beginner’s Kit is a great way to get started in the world of robotics and coding. It includes all the components required to build projects like the Automated Hand Sanitiser, the Home Automation System and much more.
