Exploring Bluetooth Controlled Robots

Exploring Bluetooth Controlled Robots

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will understand the concept of Bluetooth controlled robots, explore the history of Bluetooth, and learn about Arduino projects using Bluetooth.

Introduce the learning objective to the students and explain the key concepts they will be exploring in this lesson.

What do you already know about Bluetooth controlled robots?

Slide 1: Introduction to Bluetooth Controlled Robots

Bluetooth controlled robots are robotic devices that can be controlled wirelessly using Bluetooth technology.

Introduce the topic of Bluetooth controlled robots and explain the basic concept to the students.

Slide 2: Bluetooth History

Bluetooth technology was invented by Ericsson in 1994 and has since become a widely used wireless communication protocol.

Provide a brief overview of the history of Bluetooth and its significance in wireless communication.

Slide 3: How Bluetooth Works

Bluetooth uses radio waves to transmit data over short distances, typically up to 30 feet. It operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range.

Explain the basic working principle of Bluetooth and its limitations in terms of range.

Slide 4: Arduino Projects with Bluetooth

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that enables you to create interactive projects. Bluetooth can be used to control Arduino projects wirelessly.

Introduce Arduino and its applications in creating interactive projects. Explain how Bluetooth can be integrated with Arduino for wireless control.

Slide 5: Example Arduino Bluetooth Project

One example of an Arduino Bluetooth project is a remote-controlled car. By connecting Bluetooth module to Arduino, you can control the car using a smartphone.

Provide an example of an Arduino Bluetooth project to illustrate the practical application of Bluetooth in robotics.

Slide 6: Components for Bluetooth Controlled Robot

To build a Bluetooth controlled robot, you will need an Arduino board, a Bluetooth module, motor drivers, motors, and other necessary components.

List the essential components required to build a Bluetooth controlled robot and explain the role of each component.

Slide 7: Building and Programming a Bluetooth Controlled Robot

Building a Bluetooth controlled robot involves assembling the mechanical components, connecting the electronics, and programming the Arduino board.

Explain the steps involved in building and programming a Bluetooth controlled robot, emphasizing the importance of understanding the mechanical and electrical aspects.

Slide 8: Conclusion

Bluetooth controlled robots offer a versatile and interactive way to explore robotics. They combine the power of Arduino and Bluetooth technology to create exciting projects.

Summarize the key points covered in the lesson and highlight the potential of Bluetooth controlled robots in the field of robotics.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
