ROBOTICS LAB ON ARDUINO: CREATING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR AUTOMATION AND PROGRAMMING
Project № 1871
Robotics Lab on Arduino: Creating Innovative Solutions for Automation and Programming
Priority: Development of higher and vocational education.
Duration of the project: 01.01.2025 – 01.01.2026
Sponsorship: FOUNDATION «FUNDATIA KRONOSPAN»
Target group: Lecturers and professors of the ERI “UEPA”, students of the ERI “UEPA”, teachers and students of vocational schools, as well as persons interested in retraining, advanced training and mastering the latest automation technologies.
Project goal:
Creation of a laboratory that will allow students, teachers, and VET students to master the latest Arduino-based robotics solutions, which will help introduce innovations in vocational education and professional development of teachers. It is also planned to launch joint educational projects, from conferences to specialised hackathons.
Key idea of the project:
Development of a modern concept for supporting vocational education in Ukraine using robotic systems on the Arduino platform. It envisages the creation of an innovative laboratory with subsequent internships for teachers of vocational education institutions, student training and research and educational activities for the development of future professionals.
Main project activities:
- Development of an educational platform on the basis of the ERI “UEPA” with the introduction of robotic systems and modern programming and automation technologies.
- Creation of an innovative robotics laboratory that will become a training centre for students, pupils and teachers, as well as a base for research and educational activities.
- Developing and implementing modular training programmes using Arduino robotics that will help improve the skills of Ukrainian teachers in the field of automation and programming.
- Creation of an educational excellence concept for vocational educational institutions based on robotics technologies aimed at training highly qualified specialists.
- Assessment of the possibilities of using robotic solutions in the educational process and their impact on the acquisition of new knowledge and skills.
- Development of training modules for different age groups and different levels of training with a focus on the use of robotic systems in practical tasks.
- Organising hackathons, seminars and other educational events for students and teachers aimed at promoting the practical use of robotics in the educational process.
- Implementation of distance and face-to-face open access courses in robotics for students, teachers and professionals at the national and international levels.
- Development of advanced training programmes for teachers of vocational schools to facilitate the development of the latest technologies in the field of robotics.
The results of the project are aimed at introducing innovations in vocational education, enhancing the scientific and educational potential of the institution, and creating innovative content based on robotics. The laboratory will become a centre for attracting scientists and experts in robotics, forming an active community, conducting research and educational activities.
