Coding and Robotics Notes

1. Introduction to Coding

Coding is the process of writing instructions that tell a computer what to do and how to do it.
These instructions are written in programming languages that computers can understand.

2. Real-life Examples

Imagine you tell a friend to:


Wake up
Brush teeth
Wear uniform
Go to school
In GTA, missions have instructions you need to follow:
If followed correctly → mission passed
If not → mission failed
Bugs: Errors that show when the instructions you give the computer are wrong.

3. Frontend vs Backend

Frontend Backend
What users see and interact withWhat happens behind the scenes
Example: Login button Checks if your username & password are correct

4. Algorithm

A step-by-step set of instructions to solve a problem or complete a task.

5. Variables

Variables store information that can be used later in the program.


Example:

age = 15
name = "Martin"

6. If Statements

If statements let the program make decisions based on conditions.

if age >= 18:


print("You are an adult")
else:
print("You are a minor")

7. Loops

Loops repeat actions multiple times until a condition is met.

for i in range(5):
print("Hello", i)

8. Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform a specific task.

def greet(name):
print("Hello, " + name)

greet("Martin")

9. Robotics Basics
Robotics combines coding and hardware to make machines perform tasks automatically.
A robot is controlled by a program, which is written in a programming language.

Key Components of Robotics

1. Sensors – Detect the environment (e.g., distance sensors, light sensors).


2. Actuators – Motors or devices that make the robot move or act.
3. Controller – The “brain” of the robot (microcontroller or computer) that runs the program.
4. Power Supply – Battery or electricity source for the robot.

Robotics Programming Concepts

Variables – Store sensor readings or robot states.


If Statements – Make decisions based on sensor input.

if distance < 10:


stop()

Loops – Repeat actions like moving forward or checking sensors.

while True:
move_forward()
if obstacle_detected():
stop()
break

Functions – Reusable robot actions.

def turn_left():
motor_left.backward()
motor_right.forward()

Real-life Example

Imagine a robot vacuum cleaner:


Sensors detect walls and furniture
Loops make it move until the room is clean
If statements help it avoid obstacles
