Robotic kit NAUROBO "Smart hydroponics"
The kit allows you to gain skills in biological cultivation of plants, gain experience in the field of programming, robotics, and interaction with electronic devices within the framework of the Internet of Things concept. What will the child learn? Gained skills: Growing plants in a soilless environment (using a nutrient solution); Experience in programming and automating processes for maintaining optimal conditions in a climate chamber; Fundamentals of robotics, electrical engineering for maintaining a system with a microcomputer and actuators; Basics of network administration of a microcomputer running Linux OS; Interaction with a cloud service to accumulate data and control the installation remotely within the framework of the Internet of Things concept; The ability to independently reprogram the installation in JavaScript (client-server model). Working method Group classes of 3-4 people. Methodological support The delivery set includes an instruction manual in Russian with a description of the basic principles of the model, how to configure it and methods of conducting experiments. Additionally, the delivery package includes a methodological guide to setting up the microcomputer to allow you to independently reinstall the system and control program. Examples of experiments Growing biological crops (at the teacher’s choice) under optimal conditions; Growing the same crops in conditions where one or more external parameters (light, intensity of circulation of the nutrient solution) are deliberately deteriorated; Recording results for “optimal” and “suboptimal” scenarios, compiling statistics based on the collected data (graphs of sensor readings, frames from the built-in webcam). Important: Included in the list of educational equipment for equipping new-built schools (Order No. 804 of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation dated 09/06/2022)
