  • Japan Brickfest 2018
    Japan BrickFest 2018 By Richard Jones Last June I visited Japan BrickFest 2018. The fourth Kobe Fan Weekend took place on Rokko Island, in the port city of Kobe, near Osaka and Kyoto. Organised by Edwin Knight and members of the Kansai LEGO® Users Group (KLUG), this event is a LEGO® hub event for Asia. Exhibitors attended from all over the world – predominantly countries from around Asia, but the USA and Australia were also represented. I arrived on Friday afternoon and set up in one of the two gymnasiums used for the display, accompanied by the majority of builders visiting from overseas. We shared the space with the Great Ball Contraption, a brick built monorail and a train layout. NEXO Classic Space by Richard Jones LEGOLAND Japan had a display, and there was also an area to get your hands on some bricks and just build! The other gymnasium had many exhibitors from around Japan, and a theatre had larger scale models from members of the Kansai LEGO® Users Group. I had taken my NEXO Classic Spaceships. (Imagine the 1978-79 Classic Space sets built with NEXO Knights elements and colours.) This was the third time I had displayed them this year, but the frst time they had travelled more than 1000 km from home. I set about the task of discovering how my models had survived at the hands of international baggage handlers, as well as with myself bouncing between multiple railway stations. I set up my terrain and installed the lighting. Everyone I met was extremely friendly, offering words of encouragement as my various models were unwrapped in more pieces than I remembered them being in when I wrapped them up.

  • Richer Connections to Robotics Through Project Personalization
    Advances in Engineering Education SUMMER 2012 Richer Connections to Robotics through Project Personalization MELANIE VELTMAN VALERIE DAVIDSON and BETHANY DEYELL University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT In this work, we describe youth outreach activities carried out under the Chair for Women in Science and Engineering for Ontario (CWSE-ON) program. Specifi cally, we outline our design and implementation of robotics workshops to introduce and engage middle and secondary school students in engineering and computer science. Toward the goal of increasing the participation of women in science and engineering, our workshop design incorporates strategies presented in work by Rusk et al. (2008) on broadening participation in robotics: 1. focusing on themes, not just challenges; 2. combining art and engineering; 3. encouraging story-telling; and 4. organizing exhibitions, rather than competitions (Rusk et al., 2008, page 1) We discuss three workshop themes designed to highlight creativity and provide choices to par- ticipants. Our “Wild in the Rainforest” workshops make use of the PicoCrickets robotics kits and software used and described by Rusk et al. (2008). We also present Lego Mindstorms workshops themed “So You Think Your Robot Can Dance” and “A Day at the Park”. Our workshops are presented by female role models with academic backgrounds in science and engineering. Although workshop periods are fairly short (60-90 minutes), participants learn that robots have perception, cognition, and action – and are tasked with designing and programming to highlight these abilities. We present the results of our workshops through images and videos of the teams’ creations. Workshop evalu- ation data provided by participants demonstrate that our approach results in rich connections to engineering and technology for participants of both genders.

  • Environment Mapping Using the Lego Mindstorms NXT and Lejos NXJ
    Environment Mapping using the Lego Mindstorms NXT and leJOS NXJ Gerardo Oliveira 1, Ricardo Silva 1, Tiago Lira 1, Luis Paulo Reis 1,2 1 FEUP – Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Portugal 2 LIACC – Laboratório de Inteligência Artificial e Ciência de Computadores da Universidade do Porto, Portugal Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s/n 4200-465 Porto, Portugal {ei04106, ei03087, ei04085, lpreis}@fe.up.pt Abstract. This paper presents a project of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) of an indoor environment focusing on the use of autonomous mobile robotics. The developed work was implemented using the Lego Mindstorms NXT platform and leJOS NXJ as the programming language. The NXJ consists of an open source project which uses a tiny Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and provides a very powerful API as well the necessary tools to upload code to the NXT brick. In addition, the leJOS NXJ enables efficient programming and easiness of communication due to its support of Bluetooth technology. Thus, exploiting the mobile robotics platform flexibility plus the programming language potential, our goals were successfully achieved by implementing a simple subsumption architecture and using a trigonometry based approach, in order to obtain a mapped representation of the robot's environment. Keywords: Lego Mindstorms, NXT, leJOS, NXJ, Java, Robotics, Mapping, Subsumption Architecture, Behavior-Based, Client-Server. 1 Introduction One of the major problems in the field of robotics is known as SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) [3], consisting of a technique used by robots and autonomous vehicles to build up a map within an unknown environment while at the same time keeping track of their current position.

This page won't tell you all the details about self balancing robots, but instead it provides simple step-by-step instructions to creating your own Segway. What will you make? You can create your own LegWay (shown above) during this block week course and program it to move, avoid obstacles and keep its balance. It should balances on two wheels as it drives around any flat hard surface (even sloped surfaces) while avoiding walls and other objects. What do you need? • The HiTechnic Gyro Sensor • A MINDSTORMS NXT set • The programming software that comes with your NXT set The LegWay can be built with Any NXT set. Whether you have You can build the segway with the NXT #8527 set, the NXT 2.0 #8547 , or even the NXT this set plus a Gyro Sensor Education #9797, you can build the Anyway with just the pieces you have. The same goes for the programming software: it doesn't matter which version you have. Building the LegWay Once you've collected everything you need, you are ready to build your LegWay. Follow the figures below and follow the step-by-step building instructions. Make sure that you carefully connect the cables as shown. STEP No. 1: STEP No. 2: STEP No. 3: STEP No. 4: STEP No. 5: STEP No. 6: STEP No. 7: Loading the program The final task if for you to program the robot to behave as expected (i.e., balance on two wheels as it drives around any flat hard surface, and avoids walls and other objects).

LEGO Serious Play Now Build A Firm Foundation in its 4th ® Printing! for Your LEGO Hobby! Have you ever wondered about the basics (and the not-so-basics) of LEGO building? What exactly is a slope? What’s the difference between a tile and a plate? Why is it bad to simply stack bricks in columns to make a wall? The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide is here to answer your questions. You’ll learn: • The best ways to connect bricks and creative uses for those patterns • Tricks for calculating and using scale (it’s not as hard as you think) • The step-by-step plans to create a train station on the scale of LEGO people (aka minifigs) • How to build spheres, jumbo-sized LEGO bricks, micro-scaled models, and a mini space shuttle • Tips for sorting and storing all of your LEGO pieces The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide also includes the Brickopedia, a visual guide to more than 300 of the most useful and reusable elements of the LEGO system, with historical notes, common uses, part numbers, and the year each piece first appeared in a LEGO set. Focusing on building actual models with real bricks, The LEGO Builder’s Guide comes with complete instructions to build several cool models but also encourages you to use your imagination to build fantastic creations! The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide by Allan Bedford No Starch Press ISBN 1-59327-054-2 $24.95, 376 pp.
