A Low-Cost Classroom-Oriented Educational Robotics System

چکیده
Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest in using robots in education. The use of these tangible devices in combination with problem-based learning activities results in more motivated students, higher grades and a growing interest in the STEM areas. However, most educational robotics systems still have some restrictions like high cost, long setup time, need of installing software in children's computers, etc. We present a new, Iow-cost, classroom-oriented educational robotics system that does not require the installation of any software. It can be used with computers, tablets or smartphones. It also supports multiple robots and the system can be setup and is ready to be used in under 5 minutes. The robotics system that will be presented has been successfully used by two classes of 3rd and 4th graders. Besides improving mathematical reasoning, the system can be employed as a motivational tool for any subject.

متن کاملAn Agent-oriented Behavior-based Interface Framework for Educational Robotics
This paper describes the development of an agent-oriented behavior-based interface framework for educational robotics. The framework is designed to interact with multiple agent platforms through an XML-based agent behavior language. Our longterm goal is to create a standard middle ground that can act as a sort of “magic black box” for current and future robotic platforms, structured for use in ...
متن کاملUsing Educational Robotics to Motivate Complete AI Solutions
cessfully employed in the classroom both to motivate students to tackle hard AI topics and to provide students experience applying AI representations and algorithms to real-world problems. This article uses two example robotics problems to illustrate these themes. We show how the robot obstacle-detection problem can motivate learning neural networks and Bayesian networks. We also show how the r...
