Abstract

Designed for educational environments and motivated by the demand for affordable solutions in robotics. Cost serves as a limiting factor for the implementation of robotics projects, especially in educational environments with limited financial resources. By creating a robot composed of simple electronic components, this project aims to make robotic more accessible, enabling educational institutions to incorporate robotics into their educational programs, regardless of their constrained budgets. The robot’s proposed features include the ability to navigate obstacles and teleoperation, utilizing the ESP8266 for Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring its operational versatility. Furthermore, by introducing the robot into an educational environment and interviewing students, the platform demonstrated the robot as an effective, functional educational tool. Direct evaluations from students, contribute to changes and improvements in the platform. It fulfills its purpose of facilitating the learning of basic concepts in robotics.
