Robotics Fundamentals and Microcontroller Technology Course - build your own robot
This course is the perfect way to learn about Robotics Technology by building circuits, writing programs with a BASIC Stamp 2 development board and actually building a Robot!
Learn from the comfort of your own home and take your exams online. Our highly trained instructors are only a phone call away (or e-mail) from providing you with reassuring assistance whenever you need it.
Best of all, you’ll earn an impressive Certificate of Completion in Robotics Fundamentals and Microcontroller Technology from CIE Bookstore suitable for framing when you're finished!
No previous robotics, electronics or programming experience is needed.
This certificate course consists of two learning topics - Microcontrollers and Building a Robot.
Microcontrollers
A microcontroller is a kind of minitature computer that you can find in many devices.
Learn how to build circuits similar to the ones found in consumer appliances and high-tech gadgets. You will also write computer programs that the BASIC Stamp module will run. These programs will make the BASIC Stamp module monitor and control these circuits so that they perform useful functions.
Learn microcontroller technology with over 40 hands-on activies. After each chapter you will take an online exam to measure what you have learned.
Robotics with the Boe-Bot
Students learn to design, construct and program an autonomous robot with hands-on activities and projects will that introduce students to basic robot concepts using the Parallax Boe-Bot robot.
Building and programming a robot is a combination of mechanics, electronics and problem solving. Learn relevant real-world applications that use robotic control with the only differences being the size and sophistication.
The mechanical principles, example program listings and circuits you will use are very similar to (and sometimes the same as) industrial applications developed by engineers.
Learn robotics technology with over 40 hands-on activies. After each chapter you will take an online exam to measure what you have learned.
