The aim of the course is to introduce students to the processes of robotics from daily practice, bring the issue of CNC machines, vending machines and computerized production management. The main aim of the course is practical introduction to school systems that support educational robotics. The course will also focus on developing programming techniques in an iconic-graphical development environments that have fully standard programming features such as loops, conditionals, string handling, extensive mathematical tools and strong support for graphical presentation of the results.

Requirements to the exam
Last update: Kateřina Esserová, DiS. (25.06.2020)
Active participation in course lessons; Continuous solving tasks from the course lessons reflecting the topics discussed in the course; Final completation of the robotic kit used during the course to its original state.
Creation and presentation of the final work - student’s own creative project in the field of robotics - with the use of robotic Lego sets.
Job requirements and more information:
- The work will take the form of a practical project in the field of robotics, including the planning phase (draft) preparation, construction and programming of the robot, while also presenting the whole work of other participants in the course. - The work will include project documentation (eg. Presentation, supporting materials, photos, videos). - For the project can be used Lego Mindstorms NXT robotic kit. - The only thematic restriction of the project is its usefulness in education at the elementary school or high school.
Demonstration of the appropriate level of knowledge in the focus subject.
Demonstration of the corresponding theoretical / practical knowledge and skills in solving problems in the field of robotics.
