Students learn how to use the DEPCO ER-2U, a sophisticated robot specially developed for fast and fun learning. After an introduction of identifying the parts of a robot and how they are used, students learn how to home the robot, use the keyboard to move the robot arm, and program rudimentary positions and programs. As students practice their manipulative skills, they learn more complex procedures and tasks, including laying out Cartesian coordinate grids, designing simple flow charts for programming, and running a complete cycle of robotic movements.
