Robotics

The Robotics Component of CAMP-IT will afford students the opportunity to learn basic robotic principles by operating a robotic arm via remote and also through a USB interface setup with a PC computer. The Robotic Arm Edge has an impressive range of motion including an elbow range of 300 degrees and a base rotation of 270 degrees. With its 15" vertical reach and a 12-1/2" horizontal reach, the Robotic Arm Edge is fully capable of mastering almost any task.

With the help of the ASU undergraduate volunteers, the students will learn how to configure the Robotic Arm Edge to interface with a PC computer as well as convert the arm to be controlled by remote.

There is an added bonus for those students who would like to be considered future programmers. We have software that will allow these young scholars to program the Robotic Arm Edge to perform a set of well conceived movements that they create using a fun and engaging interactive system. At a click of a button, they will see the robot come to life.

Finally, students will compete in a team environment to complete a set of tasks in a race against the clock. The team that wins will receive a prize.
