General Info
In our project, we programmed two robots entirely from scratch and we have also used one in a theatrical play. The first was called Ev3and the second S4A (this one works with a Leonardo Arduino). We “taught” the Ev3 to move and understand it’s surroundings and conduct certain tricks. In addition, we have also made an internet page and some apps.
The real opportunity to see a future flooded with robotics and the determination to make that happen so our life will easier have been the deep reason of this work.
Audience and Educational Framework
Educational Details
The work includes, among other things, the planning and participation of a robot in the role of an actor in a theatrical performance.
Students of the Informatics Group, using their knowledge of JAVA, programmed the Lego EVO3 Mindstorm model in LeJos, Eclipse environment and enabled it to feel and react to obstacles, to sing carols (here students also combined knowledge from physics and music frequencies-notes), to sing and dance on stage in the role of a regular actor with the other students of the Theater Group in the play "Fricandela the witch who hated carols".
Here is a brief presentation of the ROBOTS programmed by the pupils in "CIT Group" (Computer InformationTechnology Group)
