What is the AMS Abot Simulator?

The AMS Abot Simulator is a virtual platform that provides an immersive robotics learning experience without requiring physical hardware. It enables users to design, code, and control virtual robots in a realistic, interactive environment using a built-in robot builder and block-based programming.

πŸ‘₯ Who can use the AMS Abot Simulator?

The simulator is designed for students, educators, and robotics enthusiasts who want to develop problem-solving, logical thinking, and coding skills. It is accessible to beginners and advanced learners alike.

πŸš€ What are the key features of the AMS Abot Simulator?
  • 🌍 Accessible Anywhere: No hardware requiredβ€”learn robotics from any device.

  • πŸ›  Hands-On Safe Learning: Experiment with robot design and coding in a risk-free virtual environment.

  • πŸ“š Structured Curriculum: Progressive learning levels from beginner to advanced projects.

  • πŸ”„ Real-Time Feedback: Visualize and refine code execution instantly.

πŸ“ How do I start using the AMS Abot Simulator?
  1. πŸ”‘ Log in to the Avishkaar website using your phone number or social media account.

  2. πŸ“‚ Open AMS and select β€œCode with Simulators.”

  3. πŸ€– Choose β€œAbot Advanced” to start working on robotic projects.

πŸ“Š What are the different learning levels in AMS?

AMS Abot Simulator offers three progressive levels:

  • πŸ”° Level 1: Basic programming concepts and robot movement (ideal for beginners).

  • βš™οΈ Level 2: Sensor integration and automated robot behavior.

  • πŸ† Level 3: Real-world problem-solving through advanced robotics projects.

πŸ›  How do I build a robot in the simulator?
  1. πŸ“Œ Select a project and click β€œStart.”

  2. 🧩 Drag and drop robot parts into the highlighted sections to complete the build.

  3. πŸ”Œ Ensure motor and sensor connections are correctly mapped (e.g., M1 for the right motor, M2 for the left motor).

πŸ’» How do I write code for my robot?
  1. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Click β€œLet’s Go” to enter the coding interface.

  2. πŸ“œ Use block-based programming to control robot movements and actions.

  3. ⏳ Adjust movement duration, direction, and sensor interactions.

  4. πŸŽ₯ Run the simulation to test robot behavior in real-time.

πŸ”¬ What are some sample projects in AMS?
  1. 🎯 Basic Movement (Level 1): Move the robot forward, backward, left, and right using timed commands.

  2. 🚦 Object Detection (Level 2): Use an IR sensor to detect obstacles and respond accordingly.

  3. πŸ›€ Line Follower (Level 3): Program the robot to follow a black line using dual IR sensors.

πŸ’Ύ How can I save my project?
  • After coding, ✏️ enter a project name and click β€œSave.”
  • Projects can be πŸ“‚ reloaded and improved
    upon at any time.

πŸ“š How does the AMS Abot Simulator integrate into education?

The simulator supports STEM learning by teaching geometry (angle-based turns), physics (speed and force sensors), and computational thinking. It is ideal for robotics curriculums at different education levels.
