CONSTRUCT AND PROGRAM LABELS OF LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 INTERACTIVE WORKS

Getting to know LEGO Mindstorms EV3 is a great guide for ambitious fans of robotics and LEGO enthusiasts who use the power of the construction set and the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 software. Filled with practical examples of constructing and programming robots, the book starts from scratch, helps to learn how to use different types of LEGO TECHNIC parts and teaches programming of engines and robot sensors using EV3 software. Available resources offer a full introduction to the most fun and encouraging robotics education platform.

• Learn about programmable EV building blocks. Design robot activities using action blocks. Use environmental sensors such as infrared, touch and color sensors. Program data lines and sensor blocks
• Process data from sensors using data blocks
• Build unique EV3 robots with different functions: Auto-Driver vehicle, Spy Rabbit rabbit, turtle Mr. Turto, glutton Big Belly Bot and a Guapo puppy
• Discover ideas and solutions that will help you develop your own methods of designing and programming EV3 robots

Eun Jung (EJ) Park has been developing educational materials for LEGO robotics at RoboFun since 2010. It designs robots used in STEM programs (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) for children and adolescents. He also designs and constructs automatons mechanically, movable sculptures that react to human interactions. If you think that computer programming is not for you, because it is related to mathematics, be sure to read this book. EJ Park in an ordinary colloquial style explains the basics of programming using examples from everyday situations and shows how to apply these principles to build many fun projects from LEGO MINDSTORMS . The park explains the programming, showing that everything comes down to describing and controlling the operation of robots that can receive stimuli, move and react to the physical world.

Tom Igoe , associate professor of art, New York University, Tisch School of the Arts The LEGO EV3 system is powerful
and a comprehensive platform for learning robotics and physical informatics.

EJ Park in the book Let's learn about LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 gives us a practical step-by-step guide that makes learning to control motors, use sensors and programming robots easy. Regardless of whether you are a student, teacher, hobbyist or just interested in robotics, the author and five accompanying robots, Auto Driver, Spy Rabbit, Mr. Turto, Big Belly Bot and Guapo unnoticeably change you from novice to robotics expert. Jaymes Dec, technical teacher, Marymount School of New York and NYC Makery. Getting to know LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 EJ Park is a comprehensive introduction to the new EV3 set. From the initial robot to the robot that eats and expels them, readers of all skill levels will find something new and exciting to stimulate their imagination.
