    ● Product Information P!MOT is a two-wheeled robot installed with one chip microcomputer “AT90S8515,” which includes flash memory. P!MOT has adopted encoder principle model in the gearbox to improve better straight movement. Moreover, it is installed with an infrared line sensor which detects reflection of an infrared line which eminates from an infrared ray LED on either side, by a central Infrared Detector IC as a sensor for recognizing an external situation, and four optical sensors which detect a state of a floor by changes in brightness.
  • Page 6: Ⅰ. A Story About Robots

    Ⅰ. A Story about Robots 1. What is a Robot? How many times have you heard the word “robot” ? We use this word in the daily conversation with our friends frequently. In reality, we have much opportunity to get in touch with the robots ranged from the virtu- al robot in the animation to the real robots like those work in the factories and those raised in the family as pets.
  • Page 7: History Of Robot

    2. History of Robots (1) It was born from imagination It was in 1920 that the word robot was created. Enthusiasm of humans for robots is still alive in the history, myths and literature since ancient times. Humans had a wish to produce tools and devices that would work and operate in place of people.
  • Page 8: Robot Research

    As mentioned above, the robots have started to be manufactured practically with the development of tech- nology. Most of the robots manufactured today are suitable for performing some patterns of works, but not similar with “automan” imaged. The industrial robots are good examples, quite different from human being. Industrial robots finish the given works in the given positions so that no need to have the same construction with humans who have brain, hands and legs.
  • Page 9 (3)Research on communication Research on communication has two aspects. One is the communication between robots. Another is the com- munication between robots and humans. The research of the information interchange and the harmonization of several robots which operate together is performed.

  • Page 32 Take for an example of the actions after school of a junior high school student, Nancy. Let’s compare the following two expressions; when we describe the actions as sentences and when we draw a flowchart of the actions. (1) Describe the actions of a student with sentences: Nancy comes home after a club activity.
  • Page 33: Programming

    3. Programming Now let’s explain programming for the P!MOT. Program mode is the mode in which you can create and execute pro- grams, such as a repetition of operation and sensory-based condition judgments. A program is created using com- mand keys, program keys, and value keys. Now, in order to make a program, let’s read well the explanation of each key, and understand its function.
  • Page 34 ELSE When in disagreement with the conditions after IF, it jumps to the label of the numerical value shown after “ELSE”, and the program is continued and performed from there. This key can be omitted and program will just go to the next line. It expresses the place used as a jump place.
  • Page 35 ● Let’s make a program which P!MOT moves at Middle Speed in a square pattern. 【 Ex.2. Program Ex. 1. 】 Operation time is set at 2. 90degree rotation is set at 4. Start * Since P!MOT uses a direct-current motor and cannot move exact distances or at Middle speed exact angles, it cannot make a perfect square.
  • Page 36 The program using FOR-NEXT can be further put into the imperative sentence between 【 Ex.2. Program Ex. 3. 】 FOR-NEXT. This is called multiplex loop. Let’s make a program which continues moving infinitely using a multiplex loop, shifting Start crossroads little by little. FOR 0(∞) 0 ( ∞...
  • Page 37 So if we use FOR-NEXT to make an infinitely repeating program we can observe whether Start the sensor is working because it will always be waiting for input from the sensor. If this is expressed by a flow chart, it will become as shown in a left figure. FOR 0(∞) If you make a program list, it will be as follows, IRL is ON?
  • Page 38 Are you now able to imagine the program method of P!MOT? Although easy programs have been explained so far, P!MOT is able to do little more complicated programs. We use the term complicated, but it is still just uses the application so far explained so give it a try without thinking too hard.

  • Page 40: Ⅳ. Technical Data

    Ⅳ. Technical data 1. Mechanism structure P!MOT uses a “gear mechanism” which relays rotational power from the motor by way of gears to rotate the tires. I’m sure you often see gears since they are used in so many places around us. However, gears important roles other than the mere relay of rotation.
  • Page 41: What Is A Computer

    ● Function of changing rotational power The third function of the gear is rotational power (Called Torque.) The motor used by P!MOT distributes only a few grams of power and by itself is not strong enough to move the tires. So what can we do to increase the power? Let’s explain what happens when a small gear and large gear are combined.
  • Page 42 ● Computer structure Although the computer is used for various things, and have various functions but did you know that the contents of all computers are the same? Of course computers have different characteristics, as do humans. Some are good at math, some are small, and some work well in the heat.
  • Page 43 ● Computers and programs Although the fundamental composition of a computer is the same, why does a computer carry out separate func- tions with each product? A rice cooker cannot make ice, but since the compositions of all computers are the same, it should be able to operate as that? However, it doesn’t operate.
  • Page 44 So, how about P!MOT? The same is said in the case of P!MOT. And if the key of the original Intermediate Language of P!MOT is pushed, it will change into the corresponding Computer Language. For example, If you press “forward with low speed,” it automatically becames 11110000. If you press “left turn,”...
  • Page 45: Motor Control

    3. Motor control P!MOT moves forward and backward by using power of motor rotation. In P!MOT, the following features exist by controlling rotation of the motor by computer. 1. Speed can be changed to a low speed, middle speed, and high-speed. 2.
  • Page 46 2. Improve the better straight properly P!MOT goes forward, backward, turns left and right and spins all using 2 motors but sometimes it doesn’t move in a straight line because of variations at the time of assembly, etc. Let’s discuss the ways we try to improve this. Before you assemble the gearbox, do you remember that you used a gear with long slit hole (Flat spur gear with slit), also you installed a phototransistor and using a red LED to make pulse sensor, to the gearbox.
  • Page 47 P!MOT has pulse sensors on both right and left motors. So, if P!MOT moves forward or backward, each pulse is entered to the computer. By comparing left and right pulses, it can improve better straightness. Let’s see what pro- cessing is actually carried out later. ①...
  • Page 48: Sensors

    4. Sensors ● What are sensors? Have you seen a robot? you may have heard on TV about robots being developed recently. What kind of parts do those robot consist of? Of course they consist of computers (the electronic brain) and other mechanical parts, but, above all, the sensors play a very important role.
  • Page 49 ・ Touch Sensor (pressure sensor, temperature sensor) There are many kinds of human senses such as “sense of pressure,” “sense of pain,” or “sense of hot and cold.” Equally, there are various sensors. A Switch which only senses whether it is being touched or not, and a Strengage which converts the pressure to an electric signal according.

  • Page 52 P!MOT is the programmable robot which uses 8BIT microcomputer made by ATMEL “AT90S8515.” The P!MOT is controlled completely by this microcomputer. Let’s explain the circuit of each block. ① 8bit microcomputer The signal for rotating a motor according to the command from a keyboard and the signal with which sound is sounded are outputted, or the output is controlled by the brains which perform all control of P!MOT by the input from an Infrared sensor, a pulse sensor, etc.
  • Page 53 ⑥ Comparator input In order to supervise the degree [ exhausting / 3V dry cell of the power supply for motors of P!MOT ], the power supply for motors and the standard voltage made from R9 and R10 are inputted into the comparator which the mi- crocomputer has, and each is compared.

    ● Guidance Those who can use a personal computer in their house, school, and etc., are able to make a program to P!MOT by using the personal computer, and transmit the program to P!MOT. The program is made by personal computer, so save and edit are easy to do.
