This study examines the impact of modular robot programming education on middle school informatics curriculum learning motivation. For this purpose, the experiment was conducted with a experimental group of 25 people and a control group of 25 people, and modular robot programming education and learning motivation test were used as research tools. As a result of processing the results of the learning motivation test paper with the independent sample t-test and the paired t-test, the experimental group had 9.36 points higher learning motivation than the control group and 15.44 points higher than the pre-test. In particular, it significantly affected the improvement of all the sub-components of the learning motivation, and among them, it greatly affected the enhancement of attention, relevance and satisfaction. In conclusion, it can be seen that modular robot programming education has a positive effect on improving students' motivation to learn the informatics curriculum.

Modular snake-like robots are robust for failure and have flexible locomotion for environments, but are difficult to control. Various phase and evolutionary approaches for modular robots have been studied for many years, but there are few comparisons among these methods. In this paper, Phase, GAps, GA and GP approaches are implemented and compared for flat, stairs, and slope environments. In addition, simulations of the locomotion evolution for modular snake-like robot are executed in Webots environments.

In this paper, the design method, design techniques and structure of a language for a SCARA type industrial robot, are presented. The proposed new language is modular and expandable using the C programming language and the 8086 assembly language. It is composed of monitor mode, editor mode, execution mode, I/O mode and teach mode. The developed language is implemented on the robot controller to verify its performance.

모듈라 뱀형 로봇은 고장에 대한 강인성과 환경에 유연한 이동 특성을 가지고 있으나, 제어가 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 진화연산을 로봇에 이용한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔지만, 어떤 기법의 진화연산이 문제에 더 적합하고, 높은 성능을 얻을 수 있는지에 대한 비교는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문은 두 가지 대표적인 진화기법인 GA와 GP를 이용하여 모듈라 뱀형 로봇의 이동 제어를 수행하였다. 대상 로봇은 H/W로 구현이 가능한 실제 모듈로 구성되었고, Webots을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 실험을 수행하였으며, GA와 GP 기법에 의한 결과를 비교 분석하였다.

In this paper, the design method, design techniques and structure of a language for a SCARA type industrial robot, are presented. The proposed new language is modular and expandable using the C programming language and the 8086 assembly language. It is composed of monitor mode which controls the main flow of the programs, editing mode which generates, corrects and edits the programs, execution mode which executes the generated programs, I/O mode which interacts with the external devices, and teach mode. The developed language is implemented on the robot controller to verify its performance.

In this paper an intelligence embedding quadruped pet robot is described. It has 15 degrees of freedom and consists of various sensors such as CMOS image, voice recognition and sound localization, inclinometer, thermistor, real-time clock, tactile touch, PIR and IR to allows owners to interact with pet robot according to human's intention as well as the original features of pet animals. The architecture is flexible and adopts various embedded processors for handling sensors to provide modular structure. The pet robot is also used for additional purpose such like security, gaming visual tracking, and research platform. It is possible to generate various actions and behaviors and to download voice or music files to maintain a close relation of users. With cost-effective sensor, the pet robot is able to find its recharge station and recharge itself when its battery runs low. To facilitate programming of the robot, we support several development environments. Therefore, the developed system is a low-cost programmable entertainment robot platform.

The conventional educational robots, which are commonly industrial robots or toy robots, use text-based programming to teach the students. Therefore, students have difficulty in studying robotics due to the difficulties of text based language. The developed robot in this study have a camera, which have the color tracking function, and it has various sensors and actuators. It supports the open hardware and uses graphic language based programming. The developed educational robot is programmed by Scratch, which uses graphic modular language. We also present a curriculum, which is based upon the developed robot and Scratch. We applied the robot and curriculum to the primary school students. We obtained satisfactory results comparing it with the conventional robot education. Furthermore, the imagination and execution ability of students showed enhancement in learning robotics. Thus, this fact means the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
