Varasto - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 warehouse robot

Varasto from Finnish means warehouse.

This is a simple warehouse robot made to hold and drag objects. It uses two Large motors to move around and one medium motor for a grabber. The grabber is at the front of the robot and consists of two double angular lift-arms that are each connected to a gear, which allows them to function like a grabber.

Courses and lessons with this Material

This Material is used in the following courses and lessons

Python with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 - Level 1

The course introduces students to the programming language Python. We use LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robots. Python is a popular programming language. It could be used for introducing students to programming, for academic studies, for developing machine learning algorithms and as a general-purpose language.

During the course, students learn how to read and how to develop Python programs. They use an Integrated Development Environment called Visual Studio Code. Robots are programmed to perform interesting and funny tasks like "bringing you water". The level ends with competition on a playing field with boxes.

Lesson 7 - Warehouse Robot

For students who will not take two levels in a row today is their last lesson.

Python with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 - Level 2

In the second level of Python for EV3 robots, students learn in-depth the touch sensor. The sensor is used as an input device for manual control of machines, as well as a sensor for autonomous robots. In a pair of lessons, students build a control panel for the grabber and the movement of a crane. Programming wise, students learn how to fork code with "if-else" constructions, how to create conditional and forever loops with "while" and how to negate conditions with "not" operator. In the end of the lesson, robots can detect obstacles and avoid them, so that they traverse a simple labyrinth.

Lesson 2 - Grabber control panel

Introduction

Today we will create a robot that you can control with just tha press of a button. It will detect when you have pressed the button once and when you've pushed it twice. Based on this, it will either open or close its pincers and the objects within.

In this lesson, as well as the next one, we will be building a control console: first for the pincers, later for a crane. We will be looking at the sensors as a means of human interaction with the robots before we make autonomous robots with them.
