“…Realizamos uma análise acerca das ferramentas disponíveis para programação de robôs, RoboLab (ERIC WANG et al, 2001), Legal (PNCA,2010), com intuito de comparar as funcionalidades de ambos os softwares com o Roboeduc. O Robolab é um ambiente de programação que acompanha os kit's da linha LEGO Mindstorms.…”

Um dos aspectos relacionados ao campo da robótica educacional é o ensino da programação. Várias plataformas possuem suas próprias linguagens, cada uma apresentando abordagens diferentes para o ensino de programação. O presente trabalho apresenta o software de programação em níveis denominado RoboEduc como uma alternativa para ensino da programação em um ambiente de robótica educacional.

“…First, most of the approaches aim to teach subjects closely related to the Robotics field (Petre and Price 2004; Klassner and Andreson 2003;Jansen et al 2004). Examples of these subjects are robot programming, robot construction, artificial intelligence, algorithm development, and mechatronics (Wang and Wang 2001;Weinberg et al 2001;Avanzato 2002;Jansen et al 2004;Ahlgren and Verner 2002). One of the notable exceptions to the previous cases, it is the early work of Papert (1980), who began with the idea of using robots, and mainly simulations, to teach subjects such as planar geometry.…”

So far, most of the applications of robotic technology to education have mainly focused on supporting the teaching of subjects that are closely related to the Robotics field, such as robot programming, robot construction, or mechatronics. Moreover, most of the applications have used the robot as an end or a passive tool of the learning activity, where the robot has been constructed or programmed. In this paper, we present a novel application of robotic technologies to education, where we use the real world situatedness of a robot to teach non-robotic related subjects, such as math and physics. Furthermore, we also provide the robot with a suitable degree of autonomy to actively guide and mediate in the development of the educational activity. We present our approach as an educational framework based on a collaborative and constructivist learning environment, where the robot is able to act as an interaction mediator capable of managing the interactions occurring among the working students. We illustrate the use of this framework by a 4-step methodology that is used to implement two educational activities. These activities were tested at local schools with encouraging results. Accordingly, the main contributions of this work are: i) A novel use of a mobile robot to illustrate and teach relevant concepts and properties of the real world; ii) A novel use of robots as mediators that autonomously guide an educational activity using a collaborative and constructivist

A robot highly motivates students and it is one of the best ways to connect students with the technology. LEGO created a set called Robotic Invention System. This system helps students to understand the technology of both robot and programming language. It also improves creativeness by building and controlling the robot. This paper will propose the idea on educating C language to students using Robotic Invention System 2.0.
