  • Educational Mobile Application Using Sphero SPRK+ in an Augmented Reality Scenario
    Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator 10 (3) 2017, 231-249 © MatrixRom Educational Mobile Application using Sphero SPRK+ in an Augmented Reality scenario Teodor Stefanut, Andreea Camelia Tripon Technical University Cluj-Napoca 26 G. Barițiu street, Cluj-Napoca, Romania E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Teaching kindergarten children is a challenging task that requires patience, imagination and very well designed didactic materials that can capture the attention of children and convey knowledge at the same time. Appropriate to the age of pupils, specific games have been developed and integrated into teaching methodologies, in order to help children in understanding and exercising different simple or more complex notions and skills. Complementing traditional teaching methods, technology is currently more present than ever in the everyday activities of children, enabling the implementation of complex learning scenarios, adaptive didactic materials, customized learning paths and optimized integration of gaming with the need of exercising different skills. Some of the challenges met in creating such tools are discussed in this article, showing as a case study that new learning methods and resources can be developed by bridging the virtual world of the mobile-based games with the real one, through the use of Augmented Reality techniques and Sphero SPRK+ robot. Keywords: Augmented Reality; Sphero SPRK+; Education; Mobile applications. 1. Introduction Classical educational methods for teaching kindergarten children are mostly based on activities like drawing, singing, playing group games or solving simple tasks, under the supervision and with the guidance of an adult. However, in this educational approach the training and skills exercising is mostly performed only a few hours each day, the responsibility for further practice being passed to the parents who, in the vast majority of situations, do not have the required knowledge to continue adequately these activities.

  • Orbotix Accidentally Makes Sphero 2.0 Way Too Awesome
    Orbotix Accidentally Makes Sphero 2.0 Way Too Awesome Orbotix, the makers of Sphero, today announced the reinvention of the ball. Again. Sphero 2.0 is the world’s first app-controlled robotic ball and game system, and now it’s faster, brighter and smarter than ever before. Included in the rollout are brand new accessories, including ramps and protective Nubby covers to pimp your ride. “The first time I drove Sphero 2.0, I passed out,” said Ian Bernstein, cofounder of Orbotix. It’s true – Sphero 2.0 has been re-engineered from the ground up to give the user an entirely new gaming experience. It’s kind of like Einstein and C-3PO had a baby. Powered with new AI Superdrive capabilities, Sphero 2.0 is unreasonably fast, reaching speeds of up to 7 feet per second. That’s only slightly slower than a Lamborghini. And just like a racecar, every aspect of the internal robot has been re-configured for optimal performance, including a more efficient drivetrain and lowered center of gravity. With new multicolor LEDs, Sphero 2.0 is 3x brighter than before. You’ll need sunglasses to make sure the brilliance doesn’t blind you. Powered by induction charging, Bluetooth connection, and upgraded firmware, Sphero 2.0 will change the way you play. All Tricked Out That’s not all. Sphero 2.0 now comes with accessories. Featuring two ramps that pop directly out of the packaging, users can now catch big air that gives Felix Baumgartner a run for his money (parachute not included).

  • Clarke's CES Report 2019
    Clarke’s CES Report 2019 J. Clarke Stevens Introduction Some of you have been reading my reports from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for decades. For that, I apologize. For those of you reading my report for the first time, consider yourself forewarned. While the report does contain valuable information, it is laced with silliness that I will not justify to your boss. As usual, I walked every aisle of every venue (except C-Space) to bring you news of the best (and strangest) technology. This year, that meant 2.9 million net square feet of show floor space for 4,500 companies (including 1,200 startups). There were 188,000 visitors (4,000 more than last year) with 63,000 from outside the U.S. I think about 62,000 from France. For those of you keeping track via city sizes, we’re now at Tallahassee, Florida or nearly Oakville, Ontario (now that I work for a Canadian company). The focus of this year’s show can be neatly summed up by the following incident which occurred the night before the official opening. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=0s4nxcleVd0&app=desktop) A Promobot Got Run Over by a Self-driving Tesla It was apparently in a line of Promobots headed to the show floor when it got clipped. So, an Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, robot got hit by a self- driving car. If it only had virtual reality playing on an 8k TV over 5G, the story would cover every major topic at CES this year.

  • Sample Coding and Robotics Resources Sphero/SPRK Sphero Is
    Sample Coding and Robotics Resources Sphero/SPRK Sphero is an app-enabled robotic ball which can be connected to Apple and Android devices (i.e. iPhone, iPad, iPod, tablet, smartphone). It's a robotic ball gaming device that you control with a tilt, touch, or swing of your smartphone or tablet. It allows children to develop their computational skills through coding and programming the robot. It integrates curriculum expectations in subjects such as math, science, art, and more. Children can guide their own learning through play. Through the SPRK Lightening Lab App, students are able to program Sphero to perform many movements. It allows for endless opportunities of ways to interact with it. Students can drive it, build race or obstacle courses for it, play with it in the water, reinvent board games with it, play multi-player games like tag, and play augmented reality games with it. This robot can be integrated into many subjects also allowing for integration amongst many subjects. Sphero allows students to learn the language of tomorrow as coding is becoming just as important as other skills necessary to living in the 21st century. The new SPRK model is waterproof (can swim) and can be used with paint. Resources ● Sphero Site ● Many apps on iTunes and GooglePlay and the ChromeStore, start with SPRK Lightning Lab for Sphero ● On Twitter @Sphero, @SpheroEdu, #Sphero (many videos and ideas for projects) ● Examples of activities from Sphero Dash and Dot Dash and Dot (from WonderWorkshop) are interactive robots that can be programmed through several apps including Blockly and Wonder.

  • A Study on the Suitability of Visual Languages for Non-Expert Robot Programmers

Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2895913 A Study on the Suitability of Visual Languages for Non-Expert Robot Programmers JOSÉ MARÍA RODRÍGUEZ CORRAL 1, IVÁN RUÍZ-RUBE 1, ANTÓN CIVIT BALCELLS2, JOSÉ MIGUEL MOTA-MACÍAS1, ARTURO MORGADO-ESTÉVEZ1, AND JUAN MANUEL DODERO 1 1School of Engineering, University of Cádiz, 11519 Cádiz, Spain 2Technical School of Computer Engineering, University of Seville, 41012 Seville, Spain Corresponding author: José María Rodríguez Corral ([email protected]) This work was supported by the Spanish National Research Agency (AEI), under developed in the framework of the VISAIGLE Project with ERDF funds under Grant TIN2017-85797-R. ABSTRACT A visual programming language allows users and developers to create programs by manipulat- ing program elements graphically. Several studies have shown the benefits of visual languages for learning purposes and their applicability to robot programming. However, at present, there are not enough comparative studies on the suitability of textual and visual languages for this purpose. In this paper, we study if, as with a textual language, the use of a visual language could also be suitable in the context of robot programming and, if so, what the main advantages of using a visual language would be. For our experiments, we selected a sample of 60 individuals among students with adequate knowledge of procedural programming, that was divided into three groups. For the first group of 20 students, a learning scenario based on a textual object- oriented language was used for programming a specific commercial robotic ball with sensing, wireless communication, and output capabilities, whereas for the second and the third group, two learning scenarios based on visual languages were used for programming the robot.
