Description
General Information
Product name: UBTECH uKit Robotics Education Kit (hereinafter referred to as the “Kit”).
Trademark: UBTECH.
Manufacturer: NERO ROBOTICS.
Product type: Specialized modular educational and demonstration equipment designed for assembling and operating functional demonstration models of mechanisms and robotic systems in the course of teaching technical disciplines.
The Kit is supplied as a single set of functionally interconnected components, including a main controller, actuators, sensors, structural elements, connection components and power supply elements.
Individual components of the Kit are functionally intended to ensure the operation of demonstration models assembled during the educational process.
Purpose and Field of Application
The UBTECH uKit Robotics Education Kit is specialized educational and demonstration equipment intended for use in teaching technical disciplines.
The Kit is used in general education schools, lyceums, supplementary education institutions, robotics clubs, educational laboratories and specialized technical educational institutions.
By assembling and operating functional demonstration models provided for by the Kit’s design, the following areas can be demonstrated visually and studied:
- principles of mechanics and kinematics
- principles of electronics and automation
- operation of electromechanical actuators
- operating principles and interaction of sensors
- motion control algorithms
- principles of programming and algorithm design
- signal and data processing
- machine vision technologies
- image and voice recognition
- principles of artificial intelligence algorithms
The primary function of the Kit is not to perform independent production, household or commercial operations, but to visually reproduce and demonstrate the technical processes, principles and algorithms studied during the educational process.
Educational and Demonstration Operating Principle
During lessons, various functional demonstration models are assembled from the components included in the Kit, including:
- mobile platforms
- walking mechanisms
- manipulators
- anthropomorphic structures
- other demonstration configurations specified by educational assignments
The assembled structures serve as a means of visually demonstrating the processes being studied.
Through the movement of actuators, acquisition of information from sensors and the camera, processing of signals by the controller, and execution of an algorithm specified by the student, the following relationship is demonstrated:
input data → information processing → control algorithm → actuator → physical result of the model’s action
Design Features
The Kit has a modular design.
The components are connected using solder-free connections and are intended for repeated assembly into various educational demonstration configurations.
The material of the main load-bearing and connecting parts is wear-resistant, impact-resistant ABS plastic.
The structural elements include a plastic base for mounting the main controller and battery pack, wheels, hubs, limb elements, locks, fasteners and connectors.
