1. Cellulans, new species emerging from the dungeons of RLC 2. Teacher-orchestrated activities in classroom with Robots 3. iReCHeck project 4. Thymio VPL3 |
1. Emergent behaviors are indeed a “powerful idea” that cut across disciplines and can lead to the understanding of a large class of phenomena. In our project, we are developing interactive play-based activities to engage students to learn about emergent behaviors and complexity concepts using the tangible Cellulo robotic swarm platform. 2. Managing a classroom with 20 students playing activities with 10 more robots is not a trivial task! Here, we want to make teachers’ life easier with orchestarble learning activities and orchestration tools. Come and try our new math-oriented robotic activity and see how a teacher can gain awareness with it. 3. ReCHeck project goal is to develop a system that can autonomously perform activities for handwriting enhancing, using a social robot and an iPad with apple pencil. The interaction between robot and child should is driven by the measurement of the child’s posture and writing analysis provided by the Dynamico app. 4. Visual Programming Language (VPL) 3 is a graphical interface where users drag and drop blocks to create their first program in 5 minutes. Executions can be performed in a simulated environment or in real world Thymio robots. |
