Virtual Robotics
Virtual Robotics is a software environment that contains simulated versions of programmable motors, sensors and other components, enabling users to program to move and manipulate a robot which in turn executes specific tasks in a virtual environment. Virtual Robotics allows kids to design, prototype, test and debug robots in 3D, without physical constraints or costs and enhance their learning of robotics. It is not necessary to have the physical robot or the development kit to experiment.
Kids, at this summer camp, will use the VEXcode VR environment by VEX Robotics, to program a virtual robot, with an eye sensor, distance sensor, magnet, pen, location sensing and bumper sensor to program to VR Bot for various applications in appropriate VR Environments.
This course is for kids aged 10+ yrs and above. it is one hour class thrice a week. course starts on 20th May
