Description:

In this paper we present a short-term robot edutainment for junior high school students. The theme of this robotic course is the walking motion of multi-legged robot. We provided the students with the robot educational material that contains assembled leg parts. The students devised the configuration and motion of the robot using given constraints. We conducted a robot contest for the students to present their results in this robot course. As a result, by using limited materials, the students were able to produce a robot that shows their ingenuity. We could observe from a questionnaire about the course that the students were interested in science and robots. © 2013 IEEE.
