Abstract

The development of low-cost robotic systems, with playful applications that are available in the classroom for preschool education students, is the premise from which this research starts. The first stage of the HormigaBot project is aimed to the design of a robot that contributes to developing and strengthening knowledge about mathematical elements, particularly geometry ones. In this study, technological research has been used, by applying an exploratory design and the prototype technique. Among the main results include: the description of the design and development process of a semi-autonomous robot for teaching and learning the basic elements of geometry. The technology applied is called low-cost based, based on the Arduino platform controlled from a mobile device, by using an Android operating system. The App developed allows the user the remote manipulation of the robot to teach geometry elements.
