The Challenge.
The Challenge.
Consider situations where robots perform a function in society. Where do they help humans, or where could they help humans. With this in mind, recreate such a scenario using Lego Mindstorms robotics kits.

For Criterion A, you will be creating an infographic that investigates the role of robots in society.
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Research and explore the role of robots in society, focusing on how robots help or could potentially help humans. Use the following questions to guide your research:
What is a robot?
How do/can robots help humanity?
What are some specific examples of where a robot solves a problem?
What do robots look like?
What examples are there of robots in real life?
What are the pros and cons of robots?
What ethical considerations do we need to make when creating/building robots?
What fictional robots are there?
Identify a specific problem that you want to focus on. The problem could be an existing one that robots help with or a potential one that you can identify.
RESEARCH
RESEARCH
Conduct thorough research on the identified problem and potential solutions.
Evaluate and analyze the effectiveness of the existing solutions
Gather relevant information and data to support the analysis.
DESIGN BRIEF
DESIGN BRIEF
Develop a design brief that outlines the problem, its significance, and the desired solution.
Explain how the problem and solution can be recreated on a small scale using Lego Mindstorms robotics kits.
INFOGRAPHIC
INFOGRAPHIC
Using Canva and the research you’ve conducted, create an infographic that covers all elements of criterion A
Your infographic should:
Explain and justify the need for a solution to the problem
Incorporate research needed to develop a solution to the problem
Analyse existing products that inspire a solution to the problem
Conclude with a design brief for how you will create the solution on a small scale
Ensure the infographic is visually appealing, easy to understand, and effectively conveys the key points.
The infographic you create will serve as a design brief to a service provider (another group in class) that will create your solution for you.
