Creating Robo Pets and Programming Class

Design and construct a robotic animal and program it to act like the real thing

You will build your RoboPet using the Lego Mindstorm system. First, we will discuss how different animals move and what features you would like to include in your creature. After constructing your pet, learn how to program it using Robolab software.

Make full use of light sensors, rotation sensors and touch sensors to make the interaction with the pets as realistic as possible. You will be making all the decisions about what your RoboPet does and how it reacts to various stimuli. How fast can it move? Does your RoboPet like the dark? Does it like to be petted? What happens when you pull its tail?
