This project aims to develop a robot to be used in the primary and secondary degrees. It is a tool to learn robotics and programming. It is a robot kit which implies that it can be assembled by the users with the supports and bases being produced by a 3D printer.
There are four dimensions that describe the practice behind this project:
DIY Do-It-Your-Self.
Teachers' involvement.
The low cost of the final product.
To use an assemblage kit.
AZORESBOT was created jointly with the teachers' robotic association, PROBOT, the secundary school Escola Secundária Domingos Rebelo and primary school Escola Básica Integrada de Rabo de Peixe to be used in the AZORESBOT 2019 robotic competition (https://azoresbot2019.uac.pt/).
A new version of the robot was already tested in the University of the Azores.
