Robótica Educativa: um sistema de apoio ao aprendizado através de hardware livre

The use of robotics in educational environments provides stimulating and motivating, plus a unique learning experience, allowing students to build several systems, ranging from a warning system temperature to a car moving robot. This paper presents a support system that will bring a chance of contact with experiments Robotics, besides taking practice introducing basic concepts such as controllers, motors, actuators and sensors. It is observed in the school, students do not have an incentive to see the world of robotics. For this reason, this work aims to popularize access to knowledge of robotics in order to demonstrate that robotics is not so complex. This work also presents a proposal to use free technology hardware, built from the Arduino platform, aiming at the low cost and ease of programming.
