My Project

A robot vacuum would be an excellent addition to our STEM lab for several educational and practical reasons:

Educational Value: Serves as a hands-on example of robotics and automation.

Demonstrates real-world applications of sensors and programming. Provides opportunities for students to study artificial intelligence and machine learning.Can be used for data collection and analysis projects. Technical Learning Opportunities:

Students can study the vacuum's navigation algorithms,

analyze the efficiency of different cleaning patterns,

examine sensor technology and obstacle detection,

learn about battery technology and power management.

Practical Benefits: Maintains a cleaner learning environment,

reduces maintenance time for staff, shows students how technology solves everyday problems,demonstrates the intersection of convenience and innovation.

STEM Integration:Engineering: Study of mechanical components and design.Technology: Analysis of software and hardware integration. Mathematics: Data collection on cleaning patterns and efficiency. Science: Investigation of sensors and environmental adaptation.
