This document provides an overview of programming concepts and lessons for controlling an mBot robot using mBlock software. It introduces the components of the mBot robot kit and mBlock interface. The document then outlines several chapters that teach programming skills like using sensors, variables, flowcharts, branching, logical operators, and robot movement. Each chapter explains learning objectives and key concepts to help users learn how to program the mBot robot.

2. Pre- Learning Preparation
• We will experience the interaction between the
physical world and software through learning the
course.
• The course consists of three parts: mBot robot, mCore
main board and mBlock (You could
• download them with following address:
http://mblock.cc/download). mBlock is a software
developed
• on the basis of Scratch 2.0. It could control mCore main
board of mBot and achieve the corresponding
• functions. Here is the main interface of mBlock:

9. Chapter 2 Pick Apples
• Little mouse Mice found a fruitful apple tree
today . Now is the ripe season. Apples on the
trees constantly fall when blowing in the wind.
Mice hopes to find a container to hold these
apples. Can you help Mice collect more
apples?

15. Programming Structure

16. Flow chart
• A flow chart is a type of diagram, made of
boxes and arrows. It can be used to show:
• An algorithm, a step-by-step list of directions
that need to be followed to solve a problem
• A process, a series of stages in time where the
last stage is the product, result or goal.
• The planned stages of a project.

18. • The flow chart uses boxes, arrows and other
elements:
• Boxes show the process operations, the
various steps and actions.
• Arrows show the order of the steps, and/or
different options.
• Other elements
representing materials involved, decisions,
people, time or process measurements
