Programming Guide For Robotis Dream With R Block R Task And Python

Download or read book Programming Guide for ROBOTIS DREAM with R+Block, R+Task and Python written by Chi N. Thai and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses a unique approach in developing the same 8 ROBOTIS DREAM II robotics projects in three ways (R+BLOCK, R+TASK and Python+TASK) on Chromebooks:1. R+BLOCK uses a Graphical Block Programming IDE suitable for young beginning programmers, and it accesses the robot's actuators and sensors directly from the Chromebook at runtime.2. R+TASK uses a Menu-driven IDE which lets the user choose various commands to interact with the robot's actuators and sensors, via a compiled program which operates on the robot's Controller CM-150/151 at runtime. 3. The Python IDE uses the Chromebook Linux Virtual Environment to develop Standard Python programs via a "helper" module containing Utility Functions that have a one-to-one match with the R+BLOCK commands. This feature is designed to help R+BLOCK programmers transition to Python usage.This book has 4 chapters:? Chapter 1 presents an overview of the DREAM II hardware and software capabilities, and its relationship with the Chromebook environment. The Sense-Think-Act (STA) paradigm used in developing the contents of this book is also described in this chapter.? Chapter 2 is written for beginners who want to learn Block Programming. It will guide the reader from R+BLOCK Programming Basics (Sequence, Function, Condition, Loop, Remote-Control and Autonomous-Behavior) to a Structured Approach for Project Analysis and Solution based on the STA Paradigm.? Chapter 3 is written as an independent path for beginners who want to learn TASK Programming instead. It will also guide the reader from R+TASK Programming Basics (Sequence, Loop, Function, Condition, Remote-Control and Autonomous-Behavior) to a Structured Approach for Project Analysis and Solution based on the STA Paradigm.? Chapter 4 starts as a guide for using the Module "CNT_Block.py" as a black box to redevelop in Python the solutions to the same 8 projects demonstrated in Chapters 2 and 3. Chapter 4 ends with a closer look at the linkages between Module "CNT_Block.py" and its companion TASK code "CNT_Block.tskx/tsk3" to provide the reader with a more expansive "Robotics Programming" outlook beyond the Chromebook and DREAM systems.
