Basic Course: Robotic Hand Control

Students will:

• Understand the basics of robotic hands — structure, function, and real-world applications.

• Assemble and program a robotic hand using micro:bit and various sensors (light, ultrasonic, microphone, color sensor, etc.).

• Learn about advanced control methods like somatosensory control and Bluetooth communication.

• Apply knowledge through a mini-project showcasing their robotic hand innovations.

Advanced Course: HuskyLens and Computer Vision

Students will:

• Explore HuskyLens, an AI camera, and the basics of computer vision.

• Implement object recognition, sorting, tracking, and facial recognition.

• Discuss ethical considerations of AI and computer vision technologies.

• Engage with hands-on mini-missions like Scissor-Paper-Rock.

• Complete a final mini-project using HuskyLens and robotic control integration.

Robotic Hand

The Hiwonder uHandbit is a programmable robotic hand powered by servo motors and controlled by a micro:bit. It can perform realistic finger movements like gripping and releasing, respond to sensor inputs, and be operated via Bluetooth or motion sensing.

Students will learn the basics of robotics and servo control by building and programming the robotic hand. Develop coding skills in MakeCode, explore sensor integration, and apply creative problem-solving to design smart, interactive robotic projects.

Computer Vision

HuskyLens is equipped with multiple functions, such as face recognition, object tracking, object recognition, line tracking, color recognition, and tag (QR code) recognition.

With HuskyLens, students will learn the fundamentals of computer vision and AI by recognizing, sorting, and tracking objects. They gain hands-on experience programming visual recognition tasks, integrating AI with robotics, and exploring real-world applications like facial recognition.
