On 29 Nov 2019, we attended the South Australian Robotics Sumo Championship. We had eight teams out of a total of 31. After the first rounds, we had five teams in the quarter-finals (although we should’ve had six). Then all four teams in the semifinals were ours. And of course, the finals. We ended up […]
Adelaide Robotics Academy is a learning destination for the Children’s University, offering the following accredited activities: Robotics, Coding, Science, and Engineering. The University of Adelaide manages Children’s University Australia, providing educational experiences for children that recognise their achievements through the award of formal certificates and graduations. The model leverages local educational activity providers and has […]
Starting in February 2020, we will expand our curriculum by adding a new robot for advanced classes: Arduino. The benefit of using Arduino is that students will have a deeper understanding of the components, circuits, and signals that actually make technology work. And most importantly, it will introduce students to text-based coding such as Python, […]
We are happy to let you know that both our teams that entered the Robocup State Championship won trophies. One team received the Innovation Award, and the other one won second place in the Sumo competition. Congratulations to our students, the parents and supporters who made this possible! Next year, our goal is to advance […]
A new addition to our sensors will be a camera, which we can use to track and follow objects for games such as soccer or shooting. It’s called Pixy, and our students will love it! Check out this video: https://www.facebook.com/161139471103832/posts/402333283651115/
You probably know Sophia, the humanoid robot built by Hanson Robotics. What you might not know is that it will have a little sister called Little Sophia. It can walk, talk, sing, play games and, like her big sister, tell jokes. Little Sophia can be programmed in Blockly and Python. The good news is that […]
We have great news! We will offer a new science curriculum for advanced students. If your child is not yet an advanced student, it will likely be in their third year of studying Robotics. The way it works is this: if they started this year, let’s say in 2019, they would become intermediate students from […]
Recently, Brisbane, Australia, hosted the 34th edition of the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), the world’s most significant robotics event, organised by IEEE. Our staff attended the Education Forum and enjoyed the opportunity to network with teachers and suppliers from around the world.
Australia has the potential to tap into a $2 trillion opportunity through automation and generate millions of jobs that are safer, more fulfilling, and higher in value. According to a study by AlphaBeta, a Sydney-based economic strategy firm, automation is expected to free up an average of 2 hours per week from manual and repetitive […]
The precision and consistency of robots make them an attractive option for many industries. These machines can increase production efficiency and profit margins by completing tasks more quickly than human workers. Additionally, robots can operate 24/7 without the need for breaks, vacations, or sick days, and they make fewer mistakes, saving companies time. In the […]
