Mirobot MB2 Cambodian Custom Edition
This is a medium size (approx. 15 *15 * 10cm assembled) desktop robot, with a pair of powered wheels, collision detection, sound, line-following, line-drawing, and operated entirely over a local or device-hosted WiFi connection. Mirobot is a well-known educational robotics platform, with an open hardware/software license. The Cambodian custom edition is a version of this robot modified for manufacture in Cambodia using PCBa, 3d-printing and laser-cutting technology by STEM Phnom Penh.
Mirobot hosts its own local webpage with Remote Control capability - a new user can begin using the robot in 10 seconds flat by connecting to the Mirobot’s own WiFi network from any device with WiFi, including tablets and laptops.
NOTE: desktops will need a WiFi card or dongle to use this capability.
Mirobot may be easily configured to access an existing WiFi network (with sufficient capacity), from which it can be remote controlled.
The real power of the platform is unleashed when you begin programming commands and algorithms in Python, Blockly, Javascript, Scratch, Snap!, Miro UI, Remote Control, or Point&Click. These programming apps are available in your browser either as a webpage or as a Chrome App (recommended).
Mirobot has built-in capability to perform line-following and collision-detection with the touch of a button.
The onboard software (C/C++ with Arduino libraries) is freely available for viewing and modification, allowing advanced students the opportunity to explore further.
NOTE: WiFi networks in the classroom need to meet certain basic conditions to allow for smooth operation of the robots. We need to have contact with the person responsible for ICT systems to guarantee reliability, or we can provide the robots along with additional WiFi routers that match the specifications.
