ABSTRACT
This document consists of teacher's and student's
guides for approximately 10 days of instruction that introduces
robotics. The teacher's guide contains the following: an
introduction; a daily lesson plan outline; a pretest; answers to the
pretest and posttest; a list of student competencies; unit objectives
and terms; definitions of terms; transparency masters on identifying
robot parts and types of robots; information for discussions on
end-effectors and on pick and place; information on how to conduct
student activities on building a low-cost sorting robotic arm and
transporting objects using pneumatic and hydraulic power; questions
for class discussions on the social and environmental impact o
robots; lesson plans on point-to-point function, continuous path
function, and maintenance; a posttest; and 19 references. Contents of
(2) a list
(1) module instructions;
the student guide are as follows:
of 27 competencies; (3) a student information sheet that covers
defining robotics, terms, related careers, what a robot is, why and
how robots developed, types of industrial robots, parts of the robot,
(4) a student review worksheet;
and issues surrounding robots;
(5)
(6) information on
information on how to use a programming sheet;
student activities designed to show students how to determine, for
instance, degrees of freedom and the horizontal and vertical reach of
the robot arm; and (7) information and student worksheets on robotic
coding. (CML)

Introduction:
This activity is designed to combine, design, fabrication and operation procedures as
applied to robots. Robots work within a restricted envelope. Most operate on three axes: X, Y,
and Z. Arms move from one side to the other on the X axis, in and out on the Y axis and up and
It is recommended that the instructor integrate this activity with ongoing

Other activities involved

pre and post tests, safety instruction, demonstration of robotic processes and
include:
programming, automation and manufacturing processes.
Safety Considerations:
General safety concerns apply to the small instructional robots typically found in school
