Diseño y construcción de un robot interactivo y didáctico para la empresa “IPREX”.

Abstract

In the present investigation, this is a conceptualized process of design and construction of an interactive robot and didactic for the Center of Academic Preparation IPREX of the city of Riobamba. The robot is confirmed by two arms with movement, has omnidirectional traction and WiFi communication. The devices that make up the structure of the robot are two screens, one located in the head, another screen located in the front of the robot, a camera and proximity sensors to generate the experience of interaction with the public, these devices are controlled by two Raspberry PI 3, an Arduino 328 for which a master-slave communication system with different types of connectivity was designed. The model of the robot is totally original because the structure was designed in a 3D modeling program, with respect to the principle of "haunting valley", which seeks harmony between looking like a robot and human, adjusting to the components and functionalities necessary to conform the prototype, the pieces are printed using 3D technology using PLA (polylactic acid) fiber. The interface with the user allows to select the mode of operation that the robot has, either to control it manually, make it dance, put it in advertising mode, play, or to tell a story. The emphasis was on creating applications to be reprogrammed, leaving the possibility of adding more didactic applications in future projects, which allows to continue innovating. It is therefore recommended that students and researchers extend the development of the robot and can continue to renew the prototype, thus contributing to the country with new didactic methods for education.
