Explain what autonomy means.
Given a robot, explain what it does and what kinds of decisions it makes.
Decide whether a device is a robot or not. Roombas are robots. Your grandmother’s antique Electrolux vacuum is not a robot. Why not?

Learning Objectives
Learning Objectives
Solve route-finding problems by coloring the graph, or by constructing a search tree.
Graph coloring is more fun, but some types of search problems can’t be solved that way; they require us to construct a search tree.
This is why we want students to learn both methods. They’ll use the search tree method later in the course when we look at AI algorithms for game playing and puzzle solving.

My Dream Bot
This activity is designed to help students make connections across the modules in Unit 1. We've added slide at the end of each one of the decks in this module and provided preview on this site to help you plan your activities for the day.
In this activity, students will envision a robot that solves a societal problem they care about. After each module, they will add more details about their robot and how it works based on the main concepts presented in the module.
Implementation: Each student should make a copy of the slide deck and use it to incrementally work through the slides building their bot. If students need some support with designing the physical structure of their robots, they can give students the Imagine Your Robot slides.
Preparation: You can design your own robot as a model that you can show students to help them see how they might make connections between the module's content and their robot.
