ROBOTC COMMANDS LIST CORTEX 2.0 SOFTWARE

Human operated No sensors needed on robot May or may not need on-board computer VEX is capable of remote control operation with a transmitter Example: surgical robots (at least for now) Semi-Autonomous Combination of human operation and computer control Computer can stop human from making bad control decision VEX is capable of semi-autonomous Some sensors required Microprocessor on robot required software is required Autonomous Computer controlled no human or operator control VEX is capable of autonomous control Sensors required Software generally more sophisticated may require AI predator Davinci surgery Mars rover Roomba vacuum robotģ VEX Sensors Sensors can be places into 2 general categories:ĭigital (2 values: either “on” or “off” 1 or 0) Analog (continuous range of values ex: light intensity, temperature) Pushbutton  digital (2 states: On or OFF 1 or 0) Lever (limit) switch  digital Light sensor  analog (0 to 1024) Line -following (light) sensors  analog (0 to 1024) Ultrasonic/sonar sensor  “analog” needs special hookup (0 to 255 in) What are applications of each? Understand difference between “digital sensor” (on/off only) and “analog sensor” (continuous range of values).
