Information technologies for development of educational resources in robotics

Abstract

Digital learning resources are a major part of distance learning in education. In the engineering sciences, where the training is applied and it is often necessary to conduct practical exercises, it is necessary to create both standard digital training resources and specific ones. Specific digital educational resources aim to provide a reproduction of real experiments, through digital and virtual tools. The article discusses ICT for the development of standard and specific digital resources. Software tools and applications for creating various digital resources with application in robotics are presented: Gazebo, Robot Operating System, Arduino. The process and the technologies used to create a digital resource (simulation model) through a Gazebo simulator for working with robots and sensors are described. The created digital resource could be used in various engineering fields such as robotics, embedded systems, software engineering, sensor systems, electronics and others. The resource can be distributed and shared over the Internet (Github), as well as upgraded (modified) by teachers and students.
