Engineering Robotics
The 2024-26 campaign focuses on engineering in the context of robotics. Working directly with the professionals within the Robotic Autonomous Systems Network these resources provide your learners with insight into the way they work. The resources are referenced within each of the challenges.
5Ds Introduction video
This video introduces learners to the 5Ds of Robotic Engineering. 5 themes that influence engineer’s decisions about whether certain activities undertaken by humans would be better supported by robots.
5Ds Decision Maker
This downloadable supports learners to discuss and evaluate how different activities may pose challenge for people. It is a useful way to determine activities that would be better supported by robots.
Motion Matrix 7-11
This downloadable supports learners to look closely at nature. It is linked to the Motion in the Ocean Challenge. By noticing the way that animals move underwater, robotic engineers are inspired to design robots influenced by biomimicry.
Motion Matrix 11-14
This downloadable supports learners to look closely at nature. It is linked to the Motion in the Ocean Challenge. By noticing the way that animals move underwater, robotic engineers are inspired to design robots influenced by biomimicry.
