REAL-WORLD ROBOTICS Cd-Rom
Introduce your students to the futuristic world of robots. This CD-ROM combines history, theory, and applications to jumpstart tomorrow's robotics pioneers on the path to discovery - today.
This CD-ROM is divided into five sections:
*"Robotics Basics" explains the origins of robots and defines what a robot is-and isn't
* "History of Robots" explores robot evolution and the breakthrough ideas that have shaped the process
* "How Do They Do That?" identifies the parts and mechanical principles that make a typical robot work
* "Robots in the Real World" gives practical examples of robots in the workplace and the home
* "Careers in Robotics" profiles hot robotics-related employment opportunities
Special features include:
* Interactive tutorials, questions, and exercises that reinforce the learning process
* Video clips of robotics specialists, to give learners an insider look at different roles in the field
* A dual robotics timeline that visually presents the parallel sequence of historical robotics milestones in science and popular culture
After using this CD-ROM, your students will:
* Understand the terms "robot" and "robotics"
* Understand the history of robotics and the underlying theories that drive current technologies
* Recognize and be able to define the essential characteristics of all robots
* Recognize and be able to define various types of robots
* Be able to identify common uses for robots in today's society, both at home and in the workplace
