Abstract:
The rapid progress of new technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), has led to a global digital revolution whose influence is strongly exerted in all sectors of society, including the education sector. With the implementation of these technologies in Education, new educational models adapted to the digital economy have been launched. One such model adapted to the requirements of the digital labor market is the STEM educational model. Our students must be prepared for the professions of the future: specialist in human-robot interaction, augmented reality architect, developer of smart homes, etc. They need to be encouraged to explore more, discover and understand how things around them work. Numerous specialized studies attest to the major positive impact of Robotics, as a school discipline associated with the STEM educational model, on the training and development of scientific and technological key competencies of students. Starting from these studies, I decided to develop and test a method of integrating Robotics projects in the school educational environment, more precisely in teaching and learning of Physics. I have developed a wide range of projects associated with the basic fields of Physics: obstacle avoiding robot, mobile robot controlled by Bluetooth, robotic sorting arm, line tracking robot, exploration robot, self-balancing mobile robot, quadcopter type drone, etc. In this paper I have shown how two of the Robotics school projects developed on the Arduino platform can be realized and integrated within the Physics lessons: Line Tracking Robot and Obstacle Avoiding Robot.
