Robotics 2: How Robots Move
Robots are simple machines that are programmed to run automatically. Programmers are the engineers that create step-by-step instructions, or algorithms, that tell robots how to move, understand, and act. Think you might be a good robot? See if you can follow your programmer’s algorithm. After, become a programmer, and create algorithms for robots and friends….
