The development of robotics have a great potential to be integrated with educational system. Robotics become more common in elementary and high school students. However, the absence of a module which integrates hardware and software makes harder for them to learn robotic. To help students learning robotics by using an easy to build robot with a dedicated interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI)...
The work described in this paper address the problems of productivity of Grohe's Portugal grinding/ polishing department, related to the frequent stops of robotic cells for on-line programming and program adjustments. The solution to the stated problem was achieved through the adoption of off-line programming as an alternative to the conventional on-line method. Efforts were developed to overcome...
This study investigated the relationship between robotics team members' collaborative behaviors, communication and coordination in particular, during hypothetical challenges and their teams' actual performance during physical robotics challenges. Dataset included robot performance, robot design, research project, core values, and collaboration quality scores for 61 K-8 Robotics teams (N = 366) that...
Robotics is considered to be a powerful tool for teaching STEM especially when employing white-box platforms to build and program robots. In this context, programming environments should be simple and understandable for increasing the learning success and for easing the entry for teachers with non-informatics background. Furthermore, many robotics applications can also benefit from flexibility in...
In this paper we will discuss the experience of using simple robotics projects to introduce first year students to engineering. The key learning objectives and tools used to implement them and the evaluation results will be detailed. Evaluation results show that robotics projects are effective in engaging the students and an effective active learning tool.
Modernization of electric power networks is moving towards the era of a Smart Grid. Meanwhile, industrial robot systems are widely installed into the manufacturing applications. This paper outlines the possibilities of integrating the robot systems to a Smart Grid power network and points out problems that hinder achieving that goal.
A reconfigurable robot is a robot that can change shape. Programming reconfigurable robots is complicated by the need to adapt the behavior of each of the individual module to the overall physical shape of the robot. In this position paper, we investigate a simple approach to allow the programmer to abstract over the concrete shape of a robot using the notion of a label as a simple means of addressing...
