Programming Activities
Through hands-on programming, students will gradually learn to control mBot2's movements, from basic tasks like moving forward and avoiding obstacles to more complex ones like using robotics arm to grab, carry and release object with a programmable Bluetooth controller.
| Lessons | Programming Focus |
|---|---|
| Lesson 1 - Let's move | · Precise movements and corresponding coding blocks |
| Lesson 2 - Sensing = data | · Mode of operation of the sensors · Different approaches to display and visualize data on the display · Differences between Live and Upload mode in mBlock 5 |
| Lesson 3 - Listen to mBot2 | · Mode of operation of the sensors · Different approaches to display and visualize data on the display · Differences between Live and Upload mode in mBlock 5 |

| Lesson 5 - Sightseeing | · Detecting an obstacle or a range by using the ultrasonic
sensor · Using loops and conditional statements for making the mBot2 drive while avoiding obstacles |
| Lesson 6 - Careful drive | · Mode of operation (physics of light) of the color
sensor/line follower · Color and line identification- Making the mBot2 follow a line and having it perform actions based on color detection |
| Lesson 7 - A network game | · Mode of operation of gyroscopes and accelerometers (as
Inertial
· Measurement Units, IMU). Coding the mBot2 to adapt to road conditions based on IMU data |
| Lesson 8 - mBot2 at your service | · Wireless data transfer in ad-hoc networks · Data exchange in loops and events · Using WIFI infrastructure mode with the mBot2 for speech recognition and speech synthesis · Offloading heavy computing like speech recognition to cloud services · Structuring code by applying "own blocks" (functions) |

barrier/guide on one side ("maintenance work" or "smart farming")
· Identify colored objects in different heights on or above the barrier/guide · Advanced: transmit the position of the objects to another robot |
| Challenge - Transporting goods around the farm | · Using the Quad RGB sensor, the robot should identify
different locations in a work area (a farm) · Program the robot to transport objects between different locations in the work area |
| Challenge - Processing waste | · Create a program that distinguishes different kinds of
objects based on the image recognition using the Teachable Machine extension in
mBlock and a webcam · To program the Robotic Arm to manipulate and transport the identified objects to specific locations within a work area (a waste processing plant) |
| Activities | Programming Focus |
|---|---|
| Use Bluetooth Controller to Make mBot2 Vertically move and turn | ● What Bluetooth controller is and how to apply it

Smart Logistics Competition
After students have gained proficiency in assembling and using mBot2, mBot2 smart-world add-on pack, and Bluetooth controller, the "Smart Logistics" competition provides a platform for them to demonstrate their acquired knowledge and skills, while igniting their enthusiasm for science and technology.
Way 1: Sort cubes
Difficulity:
1. Connect the Bluetooth controller to the robot;
2. Control the robot to grab Transport cubes;
3. Move Transport cubes from the Storage Center to the Warehouse Areas.
Only one Transport cube reaching a Warehouse Area can count for points. Other Transport cubes stacked on top of the Transport cube counting for points can count for additional points.
Do-it-together Activities
- Follow the easy-to-understand instructions, and guide your little engineer as they bring their robot to life.
- Download Makeblock app to make mBot2 move! mBot2 can instantly respond to commands from the Makeblock app, such as following a path drawn on the screen or playing a specific note in response to users' tap.
- Finish their first "Hello World" program in just 5 minutes together! Use mBlock prgramming platform to drag-and-drop the coding blocks, then follow the step-by-step guide to make mBot2 move, sense, sing and dance.
