An Educational Robot with Graphical Programming Environment and WiFi Link
Abstract
In this paper, the complete structure of an educational robot with the ability to schedule a remote and graphical programming environment based on dedicated icons is proposed. The target of simplification of robotics, programming of education and connection of hardware and software is achieved. The idea is based on the educational robots used in schools and laboratories, which utilizing their own icon based graphical programming environment can be programmed. Wired and wireless networks can be used for remote control and no knowledge of programming. The application of the proposed idea in industrial and educational robotics and internet of things is presented.
