Roboki - Session 6

Building the Entry guard bot Step-by-Step

Entry guard bot made using proximity sensors and powered by Roboki.

Description :

Create an efficient traffic monitoring system with this engaging project! Set up proximity sensors at both the entrance and exit to automatically manage and display traffic flow. When the entrance sensor detects movement, it shows the message "People In," and when the exit sensor is triggered, it displays "People Out." This setup provides real-time traffic flow detection and automated display messages, offering a practical introduction to sensor-based systems and traffic management. Ideal for hands-on learning in sensor applications and traffic monitoring.

Before we begin, take a look at the picture of the bot to get a better understanding of the different parts of this entry guard bot.

1.HARDWARE

EntyGuard bot made using Roboki detecting people in and people out.

Let's make it!

We are going to follow the steps in this tutorial to assemble our bot. Look carefully into each of the images and follow the instructions one by one to make this entry guard bot. The colour of the blocks and parts used in the construction might differ from original, So carefully follow the instruction given below.

1.1 What do we need ?

Given below are the materials required to build the Entry guard bot.

1.2 How is it made ?

Follow the steps carefully to build the Entry Guard Robot

1. Place the 15 by 11 block on a flat surface.

2. Take two 90 degree pegs. Attach them onto 11 by 7 block like shown below and then attach it to the 15 by 11 block as seen below.

3. Next, On this block attach this brick. And for that we take two pegs and attach it onto the brick and the brick is then fixed on the 11 by 7 block.

4. Bring the Roboki and fix it onto the brick. Ensure the alignment is proper, and press down firmly to make sure the Roboki is well-attached.

5. Attach one proximity sensor to Port A of Roboki using the angled port connectors.Ensure the connection is secure and remember the port to which the proximity sensor is connected so that the bot can be programmed accordingly. The sensor is attached facing backwards.

6.Attach another proximity sensor to Port B of Roboki using the angled port connectors.Ensure the connection is secure and remember the port to which the proximity sensor is connected so that the bot can be programmed accordingly. The sensor is attached facing forward.

By now, our bot's construction is complete, with all components securely in place. All that's left is the final step — programming the Roboki to bring our entry guard to life.

2. SOFTWARE

2.1 Let's Code it  !

Now that our Bot is ready, we need to programme it using Plode to make it .Follow the step by step instruction in the video given below to programme the entry guard bot.

3. What Next?

Challenge!

Develop a reverse parking assistance system using proximity sensors to visually display distance on a screen and activate a visual alarm when the vehicle aproaches obstacles, enhancing parking precision and safety.
