ROBOTICS

When visitors look around with the tablet in the installation, they can see a space shuttle passing overhead. They may notice robots walking next to them. They can experience the artificial images created as if they were one with the space.

At the drone tester, visitors can learn the drone mechanism and navigate through the city animation on the screen.

The installation consists of an exploration area prepared to represent the surface of the planet Mars, a surface exploration robot and visuals representing the exploration samples. Visitors should be able to control the rover with the remote control on the scaled Mars surface, and when they go near the samples found on Mars on the surface, they should be able to observe these samples and information on the digital screen. The exploration area is a defined area prepared from a sand-like material on an elevation.

From the touch screen, users first select one of the previously loaded locations. They can place items in the space with their movements on the screen in front of them and navigate around the space.

With the “Robot Arm Programming” unit, 3 visitors at the same time try to understand the working principles by watching the mobility of 3 robot arms in the exhibition.

Thanks to four legs consisting of three joints, the robot can walk, carry loads, jump, get up if it falls over. It can climb steps. Accompanied by a guide, visitors interact with the balance robot and learn how the system and program that enables it to perform all these movements are used and for what purposes the robot can be useful.

The unit has two trays and 2 sets of moveable parts. Visitors race the robot to transfer the bounded pieces from the tray, which is also set up on their side, to the other. By pressing the button, the visitor and the robot arm both place the blocks on the appropriate (matching) tray. There are three different speed phases. Ideally, the robot should successfully complete the task faster and more precisely.
