How do you get a Lego mindstorm robot to run through a maze its self. how do you program it. i have the program on computer but don't know how to get it through a maze its self?

I assume you mean a maze with walls. Use a right hand algorithm. Basically always turn right and follow the wall to the end of the maze. You will need to use the ultrasonic sensor for distance to keep in centered on the path. If the maze is tape on the floor and no walls, then use the light sensor to trace the line on the ground.

How is the maars robot taught to perform its task?
It's not actually 'taught'. The scientists write a computer program to tell the rover what to do - and send the program by radio to Mars. The rover receives the program, and follows the instructions.
What role does computer programming play in robotics?
The computer looks up and calculates the information for the robot to use through it's system. However, this is only my opinion. Here's one thing they do, and it's an elaboration of the above idea: Think of the thermostat in your home (assuming you live in an area where you need heat during the cold season). If everything is working, when the temperature goes down a little bit the thermostat sends a signal to the furnace to send heat. When the temperature goes up, the thermostat sends a signal to stop sending heat. This feedback function means that the thermostat is a servomechanism. Computers in robots act as servomechanisms in several ways. To take an idea right out of the air, you might imagine that some robots would have to have a gyroscope, or other kind of balance device inside. When the balance system detects that the robot is going a little too far to the left, the system can send signals to appropriate parts of the robot's workings in order to correct the robot's posi ANSWER: Computer on a robot can be just like any computer for any machine it respond to input and give out output according to a program or software embedded into the robot. The robot may be very complex with multiple loops of servo or a simple as running a motor one way or the other. The robot can be as smart as the program allowed it to be. Basically is a dumb machine which as smart as the program installed into it.
Is a robot too smart and dangerous?
It depends how you program them
What 3 things make a robot a robot?
What makes a robot is its computer brain and its way to work in its enviornment. It uses its brain to interact with its surroundings.
How do you become a robot programmer?
you have to be in love with a computer and then marry it. =]
How can you use a nxt mindstorm?
First, you build the robot so that it looks like it can do what you want it to do. Next you connect the "Brain Brick" to all of the motors. Then, you program it to do what you want. Then, test and then re-program it if it doesn't work.
Does Lego still sell it's Mindstorm robot sets?
Lego still sells a wide variety of Mindstorm sets.The NXT looks really cool.
How do you make small robot?
The easiest thing to do is to buy a set, a mindstorm Lego set is cheap compared to others then you just build it with the pieces, program it and let it work it is lots of fun try it.
How robots find their path?
Either two things, You program it (Use computer and hook it up to the robot and put in commands and coding) SECONDLY, you can control it by either wireless (Controller or Computer, If it is in space Then computer sends commands through satellites to robot) Hope this helps ;)
Who make robots?
Anyone can make them. All you need is the parts, a computer with robot programming software, and a way to get the robot's program to its brain.
How do you make a simple robot by kids?
I think one of th easiest robot to build is the Lego Mindstorm kit. It comes with a brain (NXT) and when you combine the base kit with many available sensors, you can build good robots.
Is smaterchild really a robot?
No. Smarterchild is a computer program. It does not have a physical form, motors, electronics, sensors.
What did the boys do for the Independent Study robot assignment diary of a wimpy kid?
They wrote a computer program
Is Stephen Hawking a robot?
No Just cause he talks through a computer your mean

Is a computer the same thing as a robot?
A computer is a programable device that processes information and instructions. The output depends on the nature of the program it is running. A simple computer can keep time and ring an alarm according to its program. A 'Super Computer' can model the chemical interactions taking place within a living cell and display this via 3D modeling. A robot is a device that includes a computer as well as sensors which provide the robot with real time information regarding its environment, and movable parts which the robot can move to interact with its environment. A simple robot might be aware of some factor in its environment and change a switch when certain parameters are met. An advanced robot might sense through its cameras the surface of a distant planet or moon and photograph what it has been programmed to photograph. It might land on a planet and roam around taking measurements, photographs and soil samples. When its sensors detect a 'mother ship' in orbit overhead, it could contact the 'mother ship.' The robot must have the ability to locate the mother ship, aim its antenna at the mother ship, negotiate a data connection, and relay the data it had stored. A robot must have a very capable computer as part of its design.
Why is Lego mindstorms useful?
LEGO Mindstorms is useful because of its educational value. Students will often be able to learn the basic fundamentals of running and creating a software program while also working to solve challenging tasks with basic parts that LEGO offers. For instance, picking up and moving an object a certain distance.
