Link: ROAMER: ""

Another robot used in education. Quite popular for teaching non-robotics kids,. It combines the latest robotic technology with the science of learning to create an exciting and dynamic educational tool that can help your students understand complex ideas across a wide range of age groups and subjects.

Robotics in Education Database from HEART project

Link: Robotics in Education Database from HEART project: "A comprehensive resource with information about robotics resources"

The database contains information about a number of educational robots, a small description, their website and videos about their functionality. Based on a number of keywords you will be able to find the robot you are looking for and which may concern arduino based robots, 3d printed robots, robots suitable for STEM education, etc.

robotont

Link: robotont: "What is Robotont? Robotont is open-source platform for robotics education and research. It is an omnidirectional mobile robot with ROS (Robot Operating System) support. Development of robotont is coordinated by the Institute of Technology, University of Tartu."

And yet another open source ROS robot kit from another university. It seems that everyone is designing a new robot model for their purposes. I wonder whether it's worth our while to be doing our own as well at Brandeis.

i saw this at a conference. it's a very nice tool and I think it's been used for real teaching applications

Teachable Machine

Link: Teachable Machine: "Train a computer to recognize your own images, sounds, & poses. A fast, easy way to create machine learning models for your sites, apps, and more – no expertise or coding required."

A web based tool, free to use, designed for education and teaching. Not heavy duty for professional use.

Filed under: everything is more complicated than you think. I used to think I knew how to change the hostname of my robot. Well not so fast. Apparently there are various tools and daemons who make it their business to "reverse" certain changes that for some reason they deem necessary. Or something.
