The Iris Robot is a great introduction to robotics and the perfect challenge for anyone’s next project. The robot is small enough to drive around on your desk while powerful enough to drive throughout the room. Controlling the Iris Robot Platform through several different ways allows the robot to explore the room and accomplish tasks. For many people, bringing software into the physical world through hardware can make programming easier to learn and easier to remember. It is a low cost, mobile robot platform that can be programmed to operate on its own or in response to a wide variety of remote controls. Iris has been designed so students and teachers can focus on programming without having to build the electrical and mechanical systems. This robot is an ideal starting place for students, teachers, coaches, and teams interested in educational robotics.
The Iris Robot is a low cost, mobile robot that can be programmed to operate on its own or in response to a wide variety of remote controls. It is an engaging introduction to microprocessor programming, mobile app development, as well as the potential expansion into web development. It is ideal for teaching programming: the robot is palm sized and can be operated and tested on the desk next to the computer. Engaging users with programming can be difficult at times, but through the mobile robotic platform, programming methods and techniques will keep student engagement higher for longer.
