Track: High School STEM Project Presentation

Abstract

Utilize Lego Robotics and EV3 Software to simulate Google Car concept on the specially designed “SUV” fields.  Collect Robot motion raw data through LED Color Sensor to test whether Robot can follow the track and adjust the speed based on the field zone color.  Apply Statistics and use IBM SPSS Statistics software to analyze the Robot motion pattern in order to improve and optimize both Robot Hardware and Software settings.  Conduct systematic root cause analysis and problem solving skills through Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Conclusion project management methodology.  The process cycle time has been significantly reduced through objective data-driven analysis.  Failure modes are identified and SPSS data analysis can demonstrate the Robot physics and mechanics. Team has experienced a wonderful team building process: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. This is a great experience for us to integrate our diverse skills through intense hands-on learning.
