You should be able to use the small buttons on the remote to drive ROV3R around. There are two modes to choose from, as shown in Fig- Buttons pressed Motion ure To switch between modes, press the Enter button on the EV3 Brick. In the first mode, with the Remote Channel Selector 1 Turn right by pivoting on the right wheel. While in the same mode, you can 4 Turn right by going backward and pivoting on control motors connected to ports A and D with another remote the left wheel.
The second mode works similarly but receives commands from remotes set on channels 3 or 4. This same setup works for real-world vehicles, such as tanks or tracked vehicles like excavators. The human driver controls these vehicles by moving two levers, and each lever controls the motor that drives the track on the corresponding side. To switch between controlling channels 1 and 2 a and channels 3 and 4 b , press the Enter button on the EV3 Brick. When you place the blocks and mouse cursor on an output, its shape should change into a wire spool.
When you click an output, a wire plug appears. Place the plug on your desired input, and release the left mouse button. A robot uses the data provided by its sensors to perceive the world around itself.
In Chapters 3, 4, and 5, we compared sen- sor readings against thresholds to trigger Wait blocks or Switch blocks.
To directly access sensor readings, we can use the Sensor blocks found in the Programming Palette with the yellow tab. Each Sensor block has several modes that serve different functions. In Measure mode, Sensor blocks provide measure- ments as numeric values to other blocks.
Some Sensor blocks like the Motor Rotation block and the Timer block also have a Reset mode, which resets their measured values to 0. A plug block and send it to the Move block for use as a Steering input. The wire automatically follows the plug on the screen. This simple program makes ROV3R spin in place until you place your hand in front of the IR Sensor; then it will follow your hand, going straight until you remove your hand.
Data Wires carry values from one block To delete a Data Wire, click and drag its end slightly to another. To create the Data Wire, use your mouse to click away from the input the reverse of what we did in the last two steps shown in Figure To move a Data Wire, just click and drag it.
To make the EV3 software rearrange and compact the wire in case things are getting messy , double-click the wire. Remember that the block that provides the output value must precede the block that receives the value in its input and that the blocks are executed in sequence from left to right: The output block where the wire begins must be to the left of the input block where it ends.
However, a Data Wire can skip over many blocks Figure This program makes the robot steer according to the distance and connect distant blocks. What happens? ROV3R should spin until you put your hand near the sensor. Once your hand is near, ROV3R should go toward your hand and follow it as you slowly pull it away. How does this all work? When the IR Sensor measures a large distance when no object is near , its Proximity output sends a high value, around 80 to 90 percent.
When you place your hand in front of the sensor, its Proximity output drops closer to 0 percent. The Proximity value is carried by the Data Wire into the Steering input of the Move Steering block, which accepts values from — to percentage of steering. The blocks currently being executed are highlighted with animated diagonal stripes. N O T E The origin of the terms bug and debugging is curious and controversial. Back then, real bugs moths and roaches sometimes EV3 software snuck into those huge relay-based computers, causing elec- trical and mechanical problems.
Engineers had to literally features for remove the bugs to get the computer to work correctly! But the EV3 Software allows you to do even more! Place the mouse pointer robot follows a hand. Using Figure as reference, add a Text over a Data Wire, and a small window pops up displaying the block Data Operations palette, red header and a Display block current value, as shown in Figure The number in the pop- to the program. Note that this feature bines strings of text provided by its inputs a, b, and c.
A string works only if you run the program from the EV3 Software is just a bit of text with any combination of letters, numbers, using the Controller Figure on page To if you run the program from the EV3 Brick menu, even if the enter characters into the Text block, you can either type text Brick is connected to the EV3 Software. These If we had connected the IR Sensor output directly to animated stripes indicate the blocks currently being executed. However, when many numeric Wire pop-up display really help with debugging programs that values are displayed, what they mean is not always clear.
You is, finding and fixing errors, or bugs in programming jargon. This program is similar to the one in Figure Set the Display block to Text Grid to a single input. Then select Wired instead of static text by clicking the Text field in the header as shown in Figure The Display block should show a new Text input, where you will provide the variable text data to be displayed.
Set the Clear Screen input to understanding True as indicated by the check mark under the eraser icon so that the block will clear the screen every time it is executed.
To help differentiate the data types, Numeric, Text, Logic, Numeric Array, and Logic Array inputs have different plug shapes, and the corresponding Data Wires have different colors.
These are shown in Figure A character set in Large font 2 is two rows and two columns wide. Download and run the program. Also, a logic value can be converted to a numeric value —but not the other way around. Computers like the EV3 Brick represent all kinds of data using only the binary digits 0 and 1, which are equivalent to the truth states False and True, respectively.
In fact, there could be several options. For example, should any nonzero number be converted to True? Or should any number less than a certain threshold be converted to False? For example, because the triangular point arithmetic operations, such as dividing 3 by 10, shape can fit into the round or square shape, we know that a the result of which is 0.
If you did the same opera- logic value can be converted into a number or text. Table lists all possible conversions. Array first and only element of the You can reuse this concept in many creative ways. For resulting logic array.
Or you could put the beacon in the corner of a room and Array first and only element of the have the robot return to it, even after a long exploration, like resulting numeric array. Switch block is in Tabbed View. To disable Beacon Mode, press any other button. To pass values through Switch blocks in Flat View, you need to use variables. First of all, the entire Move Steering block. For example, in the program shown in sequence is set to repeat forever by using a Loop block in Figure , the robot will steer toward the beacon with steering Unlimited mode.
When the heading is Channel input set to 1. It has three outputs: near 0 frontal , the robot will drive straight toward the beacon. The values range from a low of —25 tance from the beacon. This the right. A value of 0 says that the beacon is directly ahead program would be clearer if the Switch block was in Flat View, of the sensor.
Its values range from 0 the nearest position to the farthest. True case Math block False case Figure The beacon-following program. Both the True and False cases of the Tabbed Switch block contain blocks. Data Wires can go in and out of a switch only in Tabbed View. When and it is True when the Beacon Mode signal is detected. To solve this The Move Steering block has the Brake at End input set problem, we use a Math block in Multiply mode to multiply the to False, so the robot will glide to a stop when the beacon value coming from the IR Sensor block Heading output by 4 disappears or when Beacon Mode is turned off.
Next, we want to send the Proximity output to the Power input of the Move Steering block. Since the ranges of the values are the same, we use a Data Wire to connect them directly. Depending on its through an environment is one of the most interesting mode, it performs mathematical operations on numeric inputs, and challenging topics in mobile robotics research.
Why producing the result as an output. The Math block can handle not take up the challenge with EV3? The available operations are listed in Table In Advanced mode, you can enter a formula in the proprioceptive internal measurements of the distance Block Equation field that involves up to four operands. If you compute the square root of a negative EV3 Brick screen. To display more lines of text without having the Display block.
Errors are still sent Row input of the Display blocks the input with the red through Data Wires connected to the output. Y icon. Experiment with various ways to display the messages using the fonts Normal, Bold, and Large and conclusion colors. And because you will probably use more than one Display block, remember to set the Clear Screen input to False in any Display block that follows. Otherwise, that block will clear the text displayed by the preceding one. You learned how the Remote IR Beacon can be used ously contained a longer string, the old string will not with the IR Sensor to build a remote-controlled robot, and you be cleared completely.
Any characters from the old discovered how to make your robot follow the beacon. You also string that are beyond the length of the new string will learned how to read sensor data and how to transmit data remain displayed, and the screen will look messy. To between blocks using Data Wires. For example, if one of the the EV3 screen.
Along the way, you learned how to carrying the data from the Proximity output of the IR drive a tracked excavator! Sensor block as input b, enter a few blank spaces as input c. Try a frequency range from to Hz. Astonishingly, your measurements —Prof.
Calculating the mean is Compare block and the Advanced mode of the Math block. We can implement this filtering technique in a dealing with wall-following program, as shown in Figure In this program, three IR Sensor blocks provide three Proximity noise measurements that are fed into a Math block in Advanced mode. We call the interference noise because input b. One good way to reduce, or filter, measurement by a Data Wire into the input of a Switch block shown in Flat noise is to take multiple measurements of the distance to View , is used to choose between the logic cases True or False.
Build, download, and run this program on your ROV3R to For example, imagine you are measuring the length of a test it.
You should find that ROV3R, by averaging the sensor corridor with a measuring tape. You repeat the procedure a few readings, becomes less sensitive to random sensor noise and times, trying to do everything the same way you stretch the thus moves more smoothly.
The Floor function We saw above that by setting a Math block in Advanced is equivalent to using the Round block in Round Down mode, mode, we could use just one Math block to compute several the Ceil ceiling function is equivalent to using the Round block math operations by entering a formula into its Formula field.
The Round block also has the Trun- c, and d. You can use these inputs as operands in either lower- cate mode, which truncates the value, keeping only the number or uppercase. The EV3 Software will give the operands the of digits after the decimal point specified by the Number of actual numeric values from the inputs and then compute the Decimals parameter. For example, truncating 3.
In returns 3, and truncating —3. Negate — —a adds a minus sign, like Subtract Floor floor floor a brings the real number a to the greatest integer smaller than a. For example, floor 3. Ceil ceil ceil a brings the real number a to the smallest integer greater than a. For example, ceil 3. Round round round a brings the real number a to its nearest integer, with a half unit as the decision point. For example, round 3. The result is always positive.
Log log log a computes the base 10 logarithm of a. Ln ln ln a computes the natural logarithm of a. Sin sin sin a computes the sine of angle a where a is given in degrees. Cos cos cos a computes the cosine of angle a where a is given in degrees. Tan tan tan a computes the tangent of angle a where a is given in degrees. Asin asin asin a computes the arcsine of a result in degrees.
Acos acos acos a computes the arccosine of a result in degrees. Atan atan atan a computes the arctangent of a result in degrees. Square Root sqrt sqrt a computes the square root of a. Also, the result of log 0 and ln 0 is —Inf. MaTh BLOckS As another example, if you compute the square root of a negative number or you make a syntax error in a Some operations will produce errors as output when the formula by misspelling a function name or using an inputs are not legal.
All error values propagate through unbalanced parenthesis , the output will be an error dis- Data Wires and will affect the results of other Math blocks. Such errors will be You can track down which Math block produced an invalid interpreted as zero by other inputs. Also, be careful with value by connecting a Data Wire from a Math block output the results of functions that are usually implemented as to a Display block in Text mode.
For example, the result of tan 90 should One potential error situation occurs when you divide be Inf, but it turns out to be a huge negative number by zero.
The result will be an error value displayed as Inf, —22,, In fact, some programming blocks embed the comparison functionality. The result of the comparison is a logic value that can execute by comparing the sensor value against a threshold. Table lists the six comparisons you can This is equivalent to a Sensor block in Compare mode that perform by changing the mode.
Similarly, a Wait block d is equivalent to a Loop block compare block that checks for the exit condition with a comparison e. The Loops in f and g function equivalently to d , with g showing Mode Result the Compare block explicitly. Depending on its mode, a Constant block can provide all kinds of data types, numbers, logic values, strings of text, and arrays.
However, you program can perform that computa- tion with the Compare block Figure by setting it to Not Equal To mode and set- Now to improve our wall-following program to make it ting input b to zero. In this Figure Converting a numeric value smoother and more intelligent than ever! Our current wall- way, any number provided to to a logic value using a Compare block following program from Figure on page 82 switches input a other than zero will rigidly between two steering directions if the proximity read by be converted to True.
Any the IR Sensor is greater or less than a threshold. The result is number equal to zero will be a jerky motion, even after we try to reduce the jerkiness with converted to False. This formula will do the trick: ing the robot spin in place. The two Constant blocks are there to show the value of the desired distance from the wall, R 50 , and the gain, N O T E We need the minus sign in front of the gain to make K 2.
A gain of 2 works well in this program. The greater the difference between distance values, the This wall-following method has some limitations; for stronger the steering input will be! For example, when the robot example, the robot can only follow walls on its right. However, is at about the desired distance from a wall, the difference E you can modify the sensor assembly and the program to allow will be small, as will the Steering control U: The robot will move the robot to follow walls on its left.
Also, this relatively minimal almost straight ahead, making only small adjustments to its program will fail if the robot is too far from the wall; in that case, trajectory. However, when the robot is very near a wall, the it will spin in place, with no chance of finding the wall again.
A controller is a device a program that monitors and changes the behavior of a system your robot. In the case of wall following, we want to keep the robot at a constant distance from a wall.
Our first Brick Programs Modify the wall-following program shown in Figure for line and wall following in Chapter 4, and the EV3 so that you can set the reference distance from the programs derived from them in Chapter 5, imple- wall before starting the loop that controls the robot. The press Enter again, the robot should stop and return to controller discussed in this chapter is a proportional setup mode. Hint: Put the wall-following loop inside an feedback controller, where the control command U is external loop.
In particular, you learned how to egy to overcome this limitation. For example, the pro- compute the arithmetic mean of a set of numbers using a single gram could detect that the robot is spinning in place by block. You met the Compare block and realized that it was an checking whether the distance from a wall is too great old acquaintance, as it is embedded in Switch blocks and Wait for a long period of time; then it could make the robot go blocks.
Finally, you saw how to build a proportional controller as straight for a while, hopefully getting closer to a wall. The angular beams are no exception. But what about the other angular beams? The story is that the ancient Egyptians knew this trick long before Pythagoras and that they used knotted ropes to make right triangles in order to set land boundaries. You may have seen this number before, perhaps in the name of the angular beams in LDraw computer-aided design CAD elements.
Now you know where it comes from! Figure A triangular structure can resist applied force without being rectangles deformed. If you and triangular structures. On the sure as a triangular one, just add a diagonal beam, as shown in other hand, a triangular structure, like the one in Figure , Figure By doing this, you effectively create two triangles. Now for some examples of assemblies that show how to use angular beams and triangular structures to build solid assemblies.
Have a look! Figure You can easily squash a parallelogram by applying force to it. Figure shows various ways to extend beams and strengthen structures. These two beams are connected with black pins and with an overlap of just two holes. Notice that the assembly is straight but still flexible. Increasing the overlap of the beams to five holes makes the resulting structure more rigid. You can use long blue pins to strengthen the assembly by making it thicker.
Increasing the amount of overlap makes the structure more rigid. You when subjected to pulling forces. To increase resistance, add another bracing beam using long friction pins. Use cross blocks to create half- module offsets. Torque is a twisting force applied to an object that tends to make it rotate. Put another way, torque We first met gears in Chapter 1 Figure on page Here are some basic things Aside from changing how fast the driven axle turns, gears to remember about gears: change the amount of torque transmitted to it.
N You measure a gear by counting its teeth. Now try turning the 36z gear with the crank for one com- N You combine gears according to radius and thickness. To sum things up, if the input gear is smaller than the output gear, the speed of the output gear will be decreased and Build the assembly shown at the top of Figure a 12z its torque increased.
On the other hand, if the input gear is the double-bevel gear meshing with a 36z double-bevel gear. If bigger one, the speed of the output gear will be increased but you rotate the 12z gear three times, how many times will the its torque decreased.
The illustrations below the gears in Fig- 36z gear rotate? When ure show how gears change the speed and torque of axles. This is a question that nags the novice LEGO Thus, the 36z gear goes one-third as fast as the 12z gear. Table lists the radii plural of radius of the gears, expressed in LEGO units. To verify these values, you can measure the radius of gear wheels by using a beam as a reference. Figure Gears change the speed and the torque of rotating axles.
Examples of perfect combinations are 8z with 24z 0. But bending and breaking LEGO design rules is my passion, so give imperfect 24? Of course, before bending the rules, you need to know what 36? As you can see in Table , there are 28 possible combinations of these gears.
Think 20 and N A question mark? See if you can find the missing solution! The axle pins might pop out if you apply too much torque. The 3M axle with stop is useful for holding gears because its built-in stop saves you from having to use a bush. Use a red bush to hold a 3M axle. Two yellow thin bushes offer more friction than one red bush. This is the most resistant assembly shown here: The gear is locked by the 4M axle with a stop on one side and two yellow bushes on the other.
An idler gear is one that is inserted between two or more gears to change the direction of rotation of the output axle without affecting the ratio of the gear train. The ratio depends only on the number of teeth of the input and output gears, as you can see in Figures and In Figure you can see a gear train with a ratio. The worm gear is self-locking. See Figure Notice how bracing prevents the worm gear from being pushed away when resisting torque is applied to the output axle.
You cannot make it turn by driving the other gear. An eccentric mechanism transforms circular motion 6M into reciprocating motion—that is, a repetitive up-and-down or back-and- forth motion. If you position the assembly verti- cally, it looks kind of like a leg.
This mechanism transforms rotation into pure linear motion, the same way the steam pistons of an old train do. Placed vertically, it reminds me of a sewing- machine needle.
Since these motors are the core of your robots, this section lists some useful modules and assemblies to build motors inside your robots. This robot is inspired by a cre- nects the center of mass to its projection on the ground.
When ation of Bruno Zarokian. The mechanics of this robot are designed so that you can program the robot to walk, turn, and avoid obstacles with just the Brick Program App see Chapter No computer required! In Quack! A creature that walks on two legs is called a biped. Humans are bipeds, and so are kangaroos, some primates, dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex and velociraptors, and birds like ostriches all the time and geese when not flying.
For the biped to maintain static equilibrium while walking on two legs that is, to avoid falling , the projection of its center of mass COM must always lie inside the support area the feet. As you can see, it shifts the weight of the EV3 Brick to the foot that remains on the ground a ; then the swinging frame touches a rolling wheel b , unloading the other foot and lifting it with a parallel linkage. The robot takes steps by turning its feet, pivoting on the foot on the ground c.
In fact, the foot on the ground keeps turning until the object is no longer in its sight, at which point the robot shifts its weight to the other side so it can con- tinue walking straight. Then push the O-frame to lock the connector to the axle. The weight of the EV3 Brick will lift the opposite leg from the ground.
This limit switch assembly is key to simplifying the programming for this robot. This 11M red beam braces the leg assemblies.
The worm gear drives the 24z gear, which makes the foot turn. In this way, the motor is double braced, making this assembly super sturdy. This gear does not engage with another gear. Try turning the 20z gear attached to the Medium Motor shaft to see how much the final 36z gear is slowed down. The 36z gear is thus one-ninth as fast but nine times stronger than the motor shaft. The central pin with towball limits the lateral movement. Attach the Neck Assembly to the black beam of the body.
This is yet another creative example of the bracing technique. Good hardware design can make your program- only the Brick Program App. Turn Timer block, and the Unregulated Motor block. Then build the program shown in Figure Motor A runs until an IR Sensor. When the Touch the weight were fully shifted to the left, the sensor would be Sensor is released, the robot knows its weight is almost vertical pressed.
If the program used only the Wait Touch Sensor block and both feet are touching the ground. The program would continue, turning the ankles When the robot is leaning that is, balancing on one foot , when the weight was still on the same side, resulting in the it briefly turns the ankle that supports its weight to take a step robot walking backward—not what we want!
The key feature that allows the robot to avoid obstacles is a Wait IR Sensor block, which pauses the program while the N O T E A Wait Touch Sensor block does not pause the pro- ankle is turning until the obstacle is no longer in sight. Check the cables percent power forward. This large motor turns the ankles to passing between the swinging frame and the neck and the make the robot step forward. Now the Wait Time block pauses Touch Sensor in the bottom of the robot. If the robot detects an obstacle, the Wait IR Sensor block disturb its swinging movement see step 15 on page If there is no obstacle, the Wait IR Sensor block lets the bend them out of the way pinch them so that they keep their program continue and the ankle turns for just 1 second.
In fact, shape. If the Medium Motor does not stop when the weight is following the Wait IR Sensor block, another Large Motor block completely shifted to one side, make sure that the Touch Sen- stops the large motor D by setting the Power to 0 percent.
This sequence is mirrored and repeated again, as shown importing and in the second row of Figure Then two Wait Touch Sensor blocks wait for the leg mechanism to release and then press the sensor again. Now program in the the weight-shifting motor A is stopped, and the stepping motor D is started at — percent power backward. Now to import our program into the EV3 Software.

The program should look of two almost identical groups of eight blocks each; the only like Figure Instead of creating two dif- ferent My Blocks, as in the previous section, we could make a single My Block with an input that specifies whether the robot should take a step to the right or left. You would put those two identical My Blocks into the main program and specify different inputs.
