Design of a STEM Education Product "AMIGO"

Abstract

The researchers aim to respond to the policy of developing smart education put forward in the Plan of New- generation Artificial Intelligence Development and accelerate the popularization and development of Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) education in primary and secondary schools. By extracting the needs of STEM courses in smart classrooms, the researchers finally designed "AMIGO", a set of modular and emotional smart robot based on tangible interaction, which is composed of a dozen types of sensors, electronic components and a main board, with an integration of online programming courses, enabling it to be used for multiplayer competition and cooperation.
