Make A Baby Robot With The BBC Micro:bit – The Learning Circuit

19.7K views on YouTube

In this episode, Karen uses the accelerometer built into the BBC micro:bit to make a functioning baby robot. The accelerometer is used to sense various motions and orientations to make the user guess why the baby is crying, and give it what it wants. Like a real baby, robot baby randomly wants to be picked up, laid down for a nap, or have its diaper changed. Robot baby also doesn’t like being dropped or laid face down. And remember, Don’t Shake Baby! https://bit.ly/3khgn9h
