Povzetek

Skupno robotiki je uporaba robota, računalnika in vmesnika med njima. Programiranje je bilo do sedaj najtrši oreh robotike v OŠ, delno tudi zaradi zahtevne sintakse v programskih jezikih.
Na OŠ Koroška Bela pri robotiki uporabljamo t. i. ikonsko programiranje (del vizualnega programiranja), ki ga učenci veliko bolje razumejo kot klasično programiranje, saj je sestavljeni program zelo podoben diagramu poteka. Učenci spoznajo osnovne programske stavke in el. elemente. Nazorna je tudi razlika med fizično povezavo računalnika, vmesnika in robota ter radiofrekvenčno in infrardečo povezavo.

Abstract

Common features of robotics are the use of a robot, a computer and an interface. Programming was the hardest activity in robotics in primary schools, in part because of the demanding syntax in programming languages.
In robotics in Koroška Bela Primary School we use so called iconic programming – pupils learn it faster and better than classical programming as the constructed program is very similar to flowcharts. There is an clear difference between physical connection of computer and robot and radio-frequencies and infrared connection. Students learn how to use drivers, how interfaces work (the use of digital inputs and outputs), and basics of programming.
