Robot visual programming

visual programming of the robot on the android app

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) to program it, we

propose a module that integrates the simplicity of

modular robot with feasible and appealing mobile visual

IDE programming apps. A modular robot which allows

student to build the robot without have to build it from

the scratch, and Mobile visual IDE is an android based

apps which allow user to program robot in GUI with a

drag and drop icons followed by property editor. The

icons represent robot commands such as moving and

interacting with objects. This module also support

advanced robotics features such as line follower, wall

follower and free movement.
