Useful Tips • There are three types of rivet. 2s (stage) rivet, 3s rivet and double rivet. • Please check the position of each frame hole to assemble well when you connect parts. → Otherwise, cables and connector pins may be fragile. • Please sort out the frame, hinge and joint parts well according to its shape and holes. Especially, these two parts can be confused as they look very similar. "A" and "B" is written onto each part as it is shown in the left picture.

- 2s rivet is white, connects two frames.

- 3s rivet is gray, can connect three frames.

- double rivet is gray, connect one frame in each side.

→ When you want to connect two frames, you can use 2s rivet and double frame. If you want to connect it tightly, use the "2s rivet". If you want to connect it smoothly, it would be better to use the "double rivet". → In assembly guide, you can use "double rivet" instead of "2s rivet" for your convenience.

• How to use rivet tool • Color is the important factor if you want to find certain frame as each frame has its own color. 1 row frame is black-transparent, 2 rows frame is black, 3 rows frame is gray, 5 rows frame is white.

Let's concentrate a little bit to hear the sound around you. Sound from talking between friends, car in the road and music from music player. It is fully filled with various sounds. How do we hear the sound in the air?

2. Press the second or third keyboard.

If you beat a drum, the surface of drum is vibrated. By this vibration, the air is also vibrated. This vibration spread to the surroundings. We can hear the sound through our ears. In this case, the air is the vehicle of sound. Solid and liquid are also the vehicle for sound, Therefore, the vibration of objects create the sound.

▶ What do you hear from robot?

In case of robot is not working properly, check the belows and re-assemble the robot.

▶ How does it move?

In case of robot is not working properly, check the belows and re-assemble the robot 1. If rotation motor is not rotated well :

Robot has been made based on human model, but it does not have any actual sensory organ. But, it has sensors instead. These sensors can be operated as an eyes, nose, ears, etc.. Our RQ smart controller does work as a human's brain. As we combine the smart controller and sensors, it can be very smart and intelligent robot.

▶ Check the cable between the battery and rotation motor. 2. Check the LED lights for cicada robot in smart controller.

 History of wheels

2. Press button 2 or button 3.

Evidence of wheeled vehicles appears from the mid 4th millennium BC, nearsimultaneously in Mesopotamia, the Northern Caucasus and Central Europe, so that the question of which culture originally invented the wheeled vehicle remains unresolved and under debate.

▶ How does it move?

In case of robot is not working properly, check the belows and re-assemble the robot ▶ Check the battery connection. ▶ Check the rotation motor connection.

 Try II

The wheeled vehicle spread from the area of its first occurrence across Eurasia, reaching the Indus Valley by the 3rd millennium BC. During the 2nd millennium BC, the spokewheeled chariot spread at an increased pace, reaching both China and Scandinavia by 1200 BC. Wide usage of the wheel was probably delayed because smooth roads were needed for wheels to be effective. Carrying goods on the back would have been the preferred method of transportation over surfaces that contained many obstacles. The lack of developed roads prevented wide adoption of the wheel for transportation until well into the 20th century in less developed areas. - Cited from wikipedia.org

 The principle of wheel The wheel is a device that enables efficient movement of an object across a surface where there is a force pressing the object to the surface. Common examples are a cart pulled by a horse, and the rollers on an aircraft flap mechanism. Wheels are used in conjunction with axles, either the wheel turns on the axle, or the axle turns in the object body. The mechanics are the same in either case. 98

Idea Class  Let's make something using wheels. We can find many objects that are used wheels. wheels in piano, saw-toothed wheel in watch, wheels in inline skate, etc.. Let's imagine something that can be applied the wheels, which is not existed at the present. It is also unique idea that baby bear designed in wheels as shown in the left picture.

▶ Touch the front part of bumper car. Then, how does it move?

In case of robot is not working properly, check the belows and re-assemble the robot 1. If rotation motor is not rotated well : ▶ Check the cable between the battery and rotation motor. 2. If touch sensor is not working : ▶ Check the touch sensor whether it is connected with smart controller well.

We have learned about sensor in chapter 6. Sensor is like sensory organ. Human being has five wits, "sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste". Today we learn about touch among these five wits.

We define "pressure' is the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object. Pressure sensor is divided into "(touch) switch sensor" and touch sensor. (Touch) switch sensor detects outside force and activate a device. It detects "pressed" and "not pressed" state only, like "button". It is used in computer, telephone, refrigerator, washing machine, television, fan, etc. If we call these home appliances as a "robot", (touch) switch sensor is the medium to command a robot.

Touch sensor is attached to surface of robot in order to detect other object's touch. It is used in tablet PC, smart phone, touch lights, etc..

 History of Airplane The inventors of the first airplane were Orville and Wilbur Wright. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first successful experiment in which a machine carrying a man rose by its own power, flew naturally and at even speed, and descended without damage.

Before the Wright Brothers - History of Flight However, before the first airplane was invented by the Wright Brothers, inventors made numerous attempts to make like the birds and fly. These early inventions included kites, hot air balloons, airships, gliders, and other devices.

Idea Class  Let's design my own airplane. Airplanes fly because they are able to generate a force called Lift which normally moves the airplane upward. Lift is generated by the forward motion of the airplane through the air. This motion is produced by the Thrust of the engine(s). Now, we have learned how airplane go flying and forward. Then airplane can go backward? Normal airplane can not go back because it uses gas power from engine, and it goes only forward. Let's try to imagine your own airplane that can move to backward.

Besides the research, humanoid robots are being developed to perform human tasks like personal assistance, where they should be able to assist for sick and elderly people, and do the dirty or dangerous jobs. Regular jobs like being a receptionist or a worker of an automotive manufacturing line are also suitable for humanoids. In essence, since they can use tools and operate equipment and vehicles designed for the human form, humanoids could theoretically perform any task a human being can, so long as they have the proper software. What else humanoid robot can do for us in our life? Let's draw your idea in the below.
