Introducing Junkbot

Junkbot is a DIY robotic kit that enables young and old to create and build working robots from almost anything. It transforms house hold objects in to unique,imaginative robots that can be programmed for a variety of functions – and at different levels of skill. As they delight in making new shapes come alive, kids will learn the core STEAM concepts of analytical thinking,problem solving,prototyping, lateral thinking and building

When was the first time you met Junkbot?

I first saw a Junkbot a year before I got a personal one for myself. I remember the students looking quite stressed and tired about it but were satisfied when it all worked out in the end.

When I was in the seventh grade, we all highschool students were required to get a junkbot and I got one myself. Last year, it was a tough ride doing codes but now that I've learned quite a lot, its much easier now and is very enjoyable.

What is the Project given this time?

For the last project of this school year, we were given the task of creating a website that has a Robotics Gallery dedicated to the development of our robots.

We will be showcasing our personal journeys and documentations within our Robotics Adventure. My goal in this website is to show you how I made my robot and to inspire you and help you to innovate

Components

Donec sit amet enim tempor nisl fermentum aliquam. In consectetur sapien eu nisi venenatis lobortis. Sed ullamcorper tristique elit nec facilisis.
Junkbot Core

Junkbot Core

is a microcontroller board based on Arduino NANO. It has many digital and analog I/O pins. In addition, to a built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi models
USB Cable

USB Cable

is used mostly to connect Junkbot board to computers
Connector Pins

Connector Pins

two types present in the kit, Three Pin and Four Pin ones. They are used to connect the other components to the Core
RGB Light

RGB Light

can emit different colors by mixing the three basic colors red, green and blue
Buzzer

Buzzer

it can make different types of sound using different notes and beats
LED Light

LED Light

stands for Light Emitting Diode . It can emit white flash
DC Motors

DC Motors

is a rotating electrical machine that uses the direct current (DC) to produce mechanical energy from the electrical energy.
Wheels

Wheels

they are connected to the DC motors. It lets the robot move forward, backward, and sidewards
Servo Motor

Servo Motor

are electrical devices that are used to push or rotate the objects at different specific angles. It enable you to make robotics arm, gates, moving sensors and many other cool projects that demand moving in specific angles
IR Sensor

IR Sensor

is an electronic sensor that emit and detecte infrared radiation
PIR Sensor

PIR Sensor

is a motion sensor that detect human movement. PIR stands for Passive Infrared Radiation sensor, since it senses the infrared radiation.
Touch Sensor

Touch Sensor

is a sensor that detects physical touch
Castor Wheel

Castor Wheel

is used to balance the robot and ease its movement
Card Bricks

Card Bricks

can be assembled easilly and used in many projects.
Handbook Guide

Handbook Guide

is used as a introduction to the world of Junkbot

Video Gallery

Here to bring you the official video presentations and documentations as I embark on the journey of Junkbot Robotics.

Case Study #1 Flickering Light

  • This case study showcases the basic capabilities of the LED light provided in the JunkBot Kit.

  • Case Study #2 Ultrasonic Sensor and LED Light

  • This case study demonstrates the combo of the Ultrasonic Sensor and the LED Light.

  • Case Study #3 Buzzer

  • This case study pays attention to the Buzzer and how it can be programmed and be used to play simple songs.

  • Case Study #4 Ultrasonic Sensor and Buzzer

  • This case study exhibits the use of the Ultasonic Sensor and Buzzer as one.

  • Case Study #5 Controlled Wheels

  • This case study displays the usage of the wheels provided and how it can give movement to the robot.

  • Case Study #6 Ultrasonic Sensor and Wheels

  • This case study shows the funcionality and effiency of using both Ultrasonic Sensor and Wheels in a junkbot.

  • Case Study #7 Ultrasonic Sensor - RGB and Buzzer

  • This case study takes inspiration from traffic lights and works quite the same as well.
