“…The difference between them should be thoroughly understood by the students to program an industrial robot. The Virtual Robot Module (VRM) of RoboAnalyzer was designed to mimic a teach‐pendant of a commercially available industrial robot. It has over 17 CAD models of commonly used industrial robots.…”

“…It is ever confusing due to the existence of several versions in the literature that are evident from many standard text books on robotics, for example, . Hence, this feature was introduced in robot teaching/learning software, RoboAnalyzer (RA), developed by the authors but never emphasized or highlighted in the earlier publications. The RA encapsulates most of the other important features which are specifically required by the students to learn the subject of robotics in a more enjoyable way.…”

RoboAnalyzer is a software based on 3D model of robots. It was developed primarily for teaching and learning of robot mechanics, although it is robust enough for the use by researchers as well. The motive behind the development of RoboAnalyzer was mainly to help teachers and students get started with teaching/learning of robotics using template‐based skeleton models or CAD models of serial robots. This minimizes the time otherwise spent on modeling, programming, and simulating the robots from scratch. In this article, we focus on the visualization of the Denavit Hartenberg (DH) parameters used to define a robot's architecture, and the modeling of the robot's input‐output motion characteristics, that is, robot kinematics, using them. The advantages of using RoboAnalyzer to overcome several challenges of learning robotics in a classroom environment are also discussed.

“…1. Robots can be used to directly teach robotics [8], or indirectly as a platform to teach other topics, both technical and non-technical (soft skills) [9]. One of the biggest strengths of using robots for teaching is the practical nature of the work; it is very easy to physically demonstrate or experiment on hardware subsystems or on full robots.…”

Mobile robots are playing a significant role in Higher Education science and engineering teaching, as they offer a flexible platform to explore and teach a wide-range of topics such as mechanics, electronics and software. Unfortunately the widespread adoption is limited by their high cost and the complexity of user interfaces and programming tools. To overcome these issues, a new affordable, adaptable and easy-to-use robotic platform is proposed. Mona is a low-cost, open-source and open-hardware mobile robot, which has been developed to be compatible with a number of standard programming environments. The robot has been successfully used for both education and research at The University of Manchester, UK.
