Robô humanoide Beo: uma proposta de ferramenta para o ensino de programação à crianças

Abstract

This work presents Beo, a mobile humanoid robot with 9 degrees of freedom. Beo was built to be used to teach coding to children and young people with the intention of providing a tool that allows the student to deepen his or her knowledge without the limitations of having to assemble equipment with the use of kits. Some related works developed in the academic environment are presented, describing different tools to be used to teach programming. The robot functionalities are presented and discussed. Finally, it is expected that the use of this tool in teaching programming will be able to meet its initial purpose of offering a simple and intuitive platform for beginners, but that allows the deepening of knowledge in the programming area for more experienced users.
