A Wireless robotic educational platform approach

Along this paper a Wireless Educational Platform approach is presented. The motivations are promoted by the wide range of Internet of Things applications which are being developed day by day. Furthermore, this paper is analyzing the Wireless communications used in the most commonly applications related to educational laboratory environments. Using as basis these two fields, it is introduced an approach of a platform which can be included in classrooms helping teachers when they work on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) educational programs for school students. The presented approach provides system scalability, modular capabilities, reconfiguration possibilities, increased compatibility with a wide range of devices and convenience within educational robotic scenarios.
