DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FOR IORT BASED REMOTE CONTROL ROBOT USING BLOCK-BASED PROGRAMMING

Abstract

As the Internet of Things and robotics are emerging, it drives more attention to computer science education based on IoRT. The IoRT is a concept in which intelligent robots monitor the events around them, fuse their sensor data, exercise local and distributed intelligence for courses of actions, and manipulate and/or control objects. This paper describes the design and implementation of IoRT based remote control robot using block-based programming. In addition, a methodology for efficient IoRT project development is proposed using integrated Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot kit and block-based programming for an Android application. The prototype of the remote-control robot is based on the ultrasonic sensor and smart device. The prototype shows that the IoRT learner can enhance the capability of creativity, problem-solving, and efficiency in their thinking process.
