Featuring the components to make 5 working models, this guidebook explains all there is to know about robotics: how they started, how they work, and how they are going to change our lives in the future.

This do-it-yourself kit includes step-by-step instructions and high-tech images on how to construct four working robots. All of the necessary parts are included. Pkg. Consumable.

In Learn Robotics with Raspberry Pi, you'll learn how to build and code your own robot projects with just the Raspberry Pi microcomputer and a few easy-to-get components - no prior experience necessary! Learn Robotics with Raspberry Pi will take you from inexperienced maker to robot builder. You'll start off building a two-wheeled robot powered by a Raspberry Pi minicomputer and then program it using Python, the world's most popular programming language. Gradually, you'll improve your robot by adding increasingly advanced functionality until it can follow lines, avoid obstacles, and even recognize objects of a certain size and color using computer vision. Learn how to: - Control your robot remotely using only a Wii remote - Teach your robot to use sensors to avoid obstacles - Program your robot to follow a line autonomously - Customize your robot with LEDs and speakers to make it light up and play sounds - See what your robot sees with a Pi Camera As you work through the book, you'll learn fundamental electronics skills like how to wire up parts, use resistors and regulators, and determine how much power your robot needs. By the end, you'll have learned the basics of coding in Python and know enough about working with hardware like LEDs, motors, and sensors to expand your creations beyond simple robots.

Make science spring to life with a whir of motors, levers, gears, axles, and propellers! With six kinetic alien monsters to build, this kit doesn't just feed the imagination but, together with the science-packed companion book, it also explains all the physics and theories behind what makes the models work. This kit will teach children about physics, mechanics, forces, and motion without them even realizing it! Together the models and the companion book illustrate in a lively and clear way how core scientific principles make things work, from thrust and friction to gravity and lift. And when kids have finished building their robot, they can decorate it with the included cool add-on card pieces that allow for hours of customizing fun!

Become an expert rocketeer as you build and launch your rockets on a number of out-of-this-world missions. Fifteen double-sided cards show clear, step-by-step instructions. The kit provides a fun introduction to the science of rocketry and pneumatics. The topics explored support the Science and Technology Curricula. Mission One Get ready to launch a Space Probe on its first mission. Mark out your safety zone, check all is clear, and stand back . . . Mission Two Blast off on a manned Space Shuttle mission into space. See how far out of the safety zone your Shuttle will land, as it glides back to earth. Mission Three Your aim is to land a Space Capsule on one of the three planets. Check all is in place, begin your countdown, and blast off. Mission Four Are you ready for the ultimate test? It is time to deploy a Space Station in deep space. Prepare your rocket carefully.

Robot building is one of the hottest hobbies around! Kids will love using this kit -- and their imagination to building their own working, radio-controlled robot. The necessary materials, detailed instructions and high-tech images combine to also build obstacles, mines, and traps.
