Robots aren’t usually soft and squidgy. But inspired by the octopus, engineers are creating robots that can twist their way around problems that rigid robots can’t handle.

Bionic Learning Network

Inspiration for factory and process automation 

Automation technology carries out everyday tasks in factories such as gripping, moving and positioning goods as well as controlling processes. Nature performs all of these tasks instinctively, easily and efficiently. What could be more logical than to examine these natural phenomena and learn from them?

That is why Festo set up the Bionic Learning Network, a research network linking Festo to well-known universities, institutes, development companies and private inventors.

Kubo, the robot that teaches kids to code, is now available for preorder | #Coding #MakerED #MakerSpaces

Kubo, the robot that teaches kids to code, is now available for preorder | #Coding #MakerED #MakerSpaces | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
We saw tons of new stuff at CES this year. But one thing that particularly caught our eye was Kubo, the robot that teaches kids how to code.

Kubo is a pretty simple robot – it’s about the size of a can of soda and has two wheels that allow it to roll around a desk or table. But what it lacks in advanced physical ability it makes up for in brains.

Kubo comes with its own programming language called TagTile. The language consists of puzzle pieces that fit together to give Kubo instructions. For example, you could connect three pieces together – forward, turn, then another forward. Kubo then drives over these pieces oncer to “learn” the command, then can remember and perform it without needing the pieces.

Kubo reads the puzzle pieces using an RFID technology – each piece has an individual embedded RFID tag, and Kubo itself has a reader built in.

While it sounds simple, it’s a pretty good way to teach kids the basics of programming without having them stare at a screen.

Meet Salto, the One-Legged Robot With an Incredible Leap | #Maker #MakerED | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Now a little robot from the University of California Berkeley is putting on a jumping clinic. Meet Salto, the bot that not only leaps four times higher than its height—higher than you could ever manage—but strings together multiple jumps and bounds off walls in the process. Oh, and it’s only got one leg.

FIRST Global | International robotics challenge to ignite a passion for  STEM

FIRST Global | International robotics challenge to ignite a passion for  STEM | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
FIRST Global organizes a yearly international robotics challenge to ignite a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among the more than two billion youths across the world.

 

The not-for-profit public charity provides the framework for an “olympics”-style robotics challenge where one team from every nation is invited to participate in a global robotics event that builds bridges between high school students with different backgrounds, languages, religions, and customs.

 

By bringing these future STEM leaders together in an engaging and collaborative competition that drives home the importance, excitement, and applicability of STEM education, FIRST Global inspires students to learn the skills they will need to make the discoveries their parents and grandparents would consider miracles, impossibilities, or just plain science fiction.

NEU!

 

Das komplette Einsteigerpaket für Kinder ab 8 Jahre. Aus über 380 Bauteilen und mit Hilfe der Sensoren (Fototransistoren, Taster) und der Aktoren (XS Motoren, Lichtschranken LEDs) können Kinder 12 leicht verständliche Modelle wie Händetrockner, Karussell, Schranke, Förderband mit Stanzmaschine oder auch mobile Raupenmodelle konstruieren. Die Steuerung »BT Smart Controller« mit 4 Eingängen für Sensoren und 2 Ausgängen für Motoren oder Lampen verfügt über eine USB-Schnittstelle und eine Bluetooth 4.0 Schnittstelle.

 

Die Software »ROBO Pro Light« (zum Download) ermöglicht eine schnelle, anschauliche und leicht verständliche Programmierung der Modelle. Zusätzlich gibt es auch die Möglichkeit die Modelle mit dem Tablet (zunächst Android) über eine App zu programmieren. Das ausführliche didaktische Begleitmaterial, welches auf dem fischertechnik eLearning-Portal (fischertechnik-elearning.com) zur Verfügung steht, unterstützt den Lernprozess der Kinder und erklärt leicht verständlich die Programmierung. Für die Ingenieure und Programmierer von morgen.

 

Inkl. BT Smart Controller als Steuerung (USB-Schnittstelle/Bluetooth 4.0 Schnittstelle), Steuerungs-Software ROBO Pro Light (System: Windows 7*, 8, 10/Tablet: zunächst Android), 2x XS Motor, 2x Lichtschranken LED, 2x Fototransistor, 2x Taster und Batteriehalter für 9V-Block (Batterie nicht enthalten).* Für Windows 7 ausgewählte Bluetooth 4.0 Sticks erforderlich.
