🤖 CLASS 8 – ROBOTICS WORKSHEET
Chapter 4: Robot Programming and Logic
📖 Chapter Explanation
In Class 8, students learn how robots follow instructions using programming and logic.
Robots receive input, process it through a controller, make decisions using if-else
statements or loops, and perform actions using actuators.
Key Points:
1. Input → Controller → Decision → Action is the main flow.
2. Robots use loops for repeated actions and conditions to make decisions.
3. Programming a robot is like giving it a set of instructions it can understand and
execute.
4. Daily life examples of programming and logic in robots:
o Line-following robots – Follow black lines using programmed logic.
o Obstacle-avoiding robots – Detect obstacles and turn accordingly.
o Programmable toy robots – Move in a specific pattern based on instructions.
Advantages of robot programming:
Saves human effort
Can perform repetitive tasks
Helps in decision-making automatically
