Kaimax Training for Secondary School Teachers Day One

Evaluation of Kaimax as teaching tool for Science in the Secondary School
Physic Curriculum.
This study is sponsored by NIE.
Kaimax is a first DIY robotic kits introducted to Singapore Schools by Glasgow Science Pte Ltd from Seoul Korea.
Introduction to Kaimax by Glasgow Science includes

By using Kaimax Controller known as KRC

What is frame set ?

Kaimax is a project based learning set. It is an artificial intelligent robotic set.
What student can gain by using Kaimax ?

Curriculum will be structured in accordance with the Singapore MOE/Nie requirements

How students would have to master the use of handling frames using screws, bolts, nuts,screw drivers and spanner ?





When linking gears, power is accurately transmitted if the tooth pitch is consistent and the rotating and rotated axes are in parallel.

For axes to rotate smoothly, two structures facing each other must be leveled. The leveled structure and the axis must be at a right angle. (90 degrees)

When transmitting power between two axes using gear and pulley, you can vary the rotating speed and force by adjusting the size of each part. The image on the left displays a setup where there is a speed reduction from the rubber bushing to the pulley, and another reduction created by the pinion fixed on the pulley and the gear linked to it. Consequently, the speed is reduced but the power has increased substantially

When two axes are at a distance, a belt can be placed on the pulleys for power transmission. However, there will be slipping between the belt and the pulley, causing power loss. In order to overcome this, chains can be used to transmit power over a long distance in an accurate manner.

Comparison with NXT from Lego
Basic set includes
3 interactive servo motors feature inbuilt rotation sensors to align speed for precise control
• Ultrasonic sensor makes robots “see” by responding to movement
• Light sensor detects different colors and light intensity
• Touch sensor reacts to touch or release and allows robots to feel
• 519 hand-selected, stylized elements from the LEGO TECHNIC® building system ensure robot creations will be sturdy and durable while also looking authentic
