Abstract
Robotnacka is an autonomous drawing mobile robot, designed for eaching beginners in the Logo programming language. It can also be used as an experimental platform, in our case in a remotely accessible robotic laboratory with the possibility to control the robots via the Internet. In addition to a basic version of the robot a version equipped with a gripper is available too, one with a wireless camera, and one with additional ultrasonic distance sensors. The laboratory is available on-line permanently and provides a simple way to incorporate robotics in teaching mathematics, programming and other subjects. The laboratory has been in use several years. We provide description of its functionality and summarize our experience.
Highlights
The importance of robotics and automation systems is obvious and still increasing
Robotics construction sets pose a good alternative to the contests
Several instances of Robotnačka are exposed for free use by lecturers, hobbyists, and researchers in the robotics laboratory accessible through the Internet [3]
Summary
The importance of robotics and automation systems is obvious and still increasing. In order to achieve sustainable and steady progress of the technology, supply of qualified workers is essential. The contests have a particular engineering goal set by the rules This restricts a researcher or a teacher in a free experimentation. Several instances of Robotnačka are exposed for free use by lecturers, hobbyists, and researchers in the robotics laboratory accessible through the Internet [3]. We review the functionality, implementation, and use of the remotely-controlled robotics laboratory, the maintenance-free operation, and describe future projects in a laboratory. The Institute of Control and Industrial Informatics at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava is where tens of engineering students are educated in the robotics. Students and employees from all the three institutions met together their efforts in developing a mobile drawing robot compatible with the Imagine Logo [4] (as a part of a joint laboratory [3]). Some of the Robotnačka robots were adapted to their virtual life in a remotely accessible laboratory
