ROBOTICS CLUB 2025-26
REPORT FOR FOURTH ACTIVITY
23rd August 2025
The main goal of Robotics club is to introduce young learners to the exciting world of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on experience with robotics. Throughout the academic year, students engaged in a variety of activities that encouraged creativity, critical thinking and collaboration. TinyBots is an initiative of ES Solutions Pvt. Ltd, who believe in making students curious about science. The fourth activity was scheduled on 23 rd August in classes of X-B, C, and Computer lab. TinyBots
are dedicated to nurturing children to develop a natural curiosity and interest in science through a well-structured activity-based ROBOTICS workshop for Grades VI-VIII.
Objective:
Creation of a knowledge pool of students with high-end technical skills for immediate absorption into research and Industry.
Bringing the latest technologies in the automation and manufacturing sector.
Real-time training to supplement students with skills on advanced technologies to make them stand out in the global arena.
Provide interested students with opportunities to express their skills, knowledge, and creativity through conceptualizing, designing, and programming robots.
Level 1 –
Activity 1:- Robo Racer remote making
Objectives- To understand wired remote-control mechanisms by using DPDT switches, BO motors and electrical circuits to control the movement of a car. The remote control sends directional signals (forward, backward, left, right) via an RF transmitter whenever buttons are pressed. The signals are received by an RF receiver on the Robo Racer, which processes the commands using a microcontroller. Based on the input, the motor driver is activated to control the DC motors and steer the robot accordingly. The Robo Racer Remote Making project combines mechanical design, wireless communication, and microcontroller programming into a hands-on robotics experience. It
demonstrates how remote-control logic can be translated into motion through real-time signal processing, laying the foundation for more advanced autonomous and wireless systems. Students started making a wired remote-controlled car using BO motors, wheels, a DPDT switch, and a 9V battery. They understood how switches change motor direction and how circuits make a car move forward and backward.
Level 2-
Activity 1:- Follow me robot
Objective-To understand sensor-based robotics by building a robot that detects and follows objects using infrared sensors.
A “Follow Me” Robot is an intelligent mobile robot designed to automatically detect and follow a specific object, person, or signal without manual control. It typically uses sensors like ultrasonic, infrared (IR), Bluetooth, or camera modules to track the movement or
location of the target. The robot processes real-time sensor data using a microcontroller (like Arduino or Raspberry Pi) and adjusts its motors to maintain a safe and consistent distance. Commonly used in applications such as shopping assistants, luggage carriers, and
surveillance, this project demonstrates basic principles of robotic vision, automation, and human-robot interaction. It’s a practical example of how robotics can respond to dynamic environments and user commands.
The Follow Me Robot successfully demonstrates the integration of sensors and microcontrollers to create an autonomous system that can track and follow a target. This project highlights key concepts in robotics such as real-time sensing, control algorithms, and automation. Its practical applications in daily life, from personal assistants to security, show the potential of robotics to enhance convenience and efficiency. With further improvements, Follow Me Robots could become essential tools in various industries and smart environments.
They started building a robot with IR sensors that could detect and follow my hand. They also learned how sensors send signals to control motors and make robots respond to the environment. It felt like making a small intelligent machine!
Level 3-
Activity 1: Smoke sensor detector alarm
Objective- To explore the use of sensors and Arduino in safety applications by creating a smoke and fire detection alarm system.
This project involves creating a safety device that detects smoke in the environment and sounds an alarm to alert people of potential fire hazards. Using a smoke/gas sensor (such as MQ-2 or MQ-135), an Arduino board, and a buzzer, students built a simple yet effective smoke alarm system. When the sensor detects smoke above a certain threshold, the buzzer automatically turns on. This project helps students understand the importance of early fire detection and how electronics can be used in safety applications.
