Make an Autonomous Robotic Explorer

Design, build and program a robotic system that follows a path and communicates its position at least twice along the way.

Think about these questions:

• What type of motorised mechanism can be used to control a robot's movements?
• How can the robot sense its position along the path?
• How can the robot communicate its position on the path?

Hints
Use typed notes, a handwritten lab notebook, sketches, photos, screenshots or videos to document your design process. Make sure to explain:

1. Any challenges that you are facing.
2. How you are working to overcome these challenges.
3. The resources that you need.
4. Ways in which your classmates or teacher can help you.
5. Any early signs of success that you are observing.

Communicate the results of your work by:

• Creating a video that demonstrates your design process starting with your initial ideas and ending with your completed project
• Creating a presentation that connects your projects with real-world applications of similar systems

Ask for feedback and conduct a self-assessment. Use the evaluation tools that your teacher has provided.
