Knowledge
Programming plays a crucial role in bringing robots to life by enabling them to respond to inputs, make decisions, and perform tasks autonomously. Key programming languages are C/C++ for Arduino systems and Python for Raspberry Pi. Essential programming structures include variables, conditionals, loops, and functions, which facilitate interaction with sensors and actuators. Debugging techniques ensure the smooth operation of robotic systems by identifying and resolving issues in the code.

Key Concepts
-
Term: Programming
Definition: The process of writing code that instructs a robot how to perform tasks and respond to its environment.
-
Term: Control Logic
Definition: The set of rules that dictates how a robot reacts to sensory inputs and makes decisions.
-
Term: C/C++
Definition: A high-level programming language commonly used with Arduino microcontrollers.
-
Term: Python
Definition: A versatile programming language often used for Raspberry Pi and MicroPython applications.
-
Term: Variables
Definition: Data storage elements used in programming to hold values such as distance or state.
-
Term: Conditionals
Definition: Programming constructs that allow decisions to be made based on conditions being true or false.
-
Term: Loops
Definition: Structures that repeat a block of code multiple times until a certain condition is met.
-
Term: Functions
Definition: Reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks and can be called multiple times within a program.
