Abstract
In this study an educational robot for programming education was designed and implemented. The robot in this study is composed of hardware containing a sensor, a processor, and a motor driver circuit, software to control the educational robot, machine parts to manufacture the robot structure, and a teaching material containing educational contents and the manufacturing manual. This robot is characterized by direct programming without a computer, which gives no spatial restrictions on robot education and enables dynamic program education beyond limitations of the existing static computer program education since students' programming results are found in the robot's movements. User-centered functional commands, which make it possible to control the robot with simple knowledge concerning hardware and basic commands, were used to enable even students who first accessed a robot or computer program to make access with ease.
