Yuejiang Science and Technology has also designed a curriculum system from three stages: enlightenment, foundation and advanced.
On October 15th, AI+ Multi-Function Desktop for
K12 Education Market was released by Physic and Robot Education Solution Provider “Vietnam Technology” The “DOBOT Magician Lite” is a lightweight intelligent robotic arm that allows students to create more ideas through a wide range of software and hardware interactions and a variety of compatible expansion interfaces. In addition, Yuejiang also cooperates with domestic and foreign senior education experts and based on the spiral curriculum design of PBL learning and national curriculum standards, and builds a curriculum system from three stages: enlightenment, foundation and advanced stage.
This robot has the following features:
-
Quasi-industrial performance. The Magician Lite is equipped with an independently designed integrated reducer and high-precision stepper motor to improve joint accuracy and compact size. The core component has a design life of more than 1000 hours; 14bit high-precision absolute magnetic encoder with ±0.2mm Repeated positioning accuracy.
-
Multiple ends, plug and play. Magician Lite robot arm has a working range of 340mm. The new motherboard uses ARM 32-bit Cortex and has 4 degrees of freedom. It has flexible end grippers, suction cups, clippers and other replaceable end tools. Plug and play, you can achieve a variety of functions such as writing, drawing, and handling.
-
Support for collision detection. The integration of key technologies of collaborative robots into desktop-level educational robots enables the Magician Lite to support collision detection and further ensure safe use. It also has a hand-held teaching function, so that students do not need to program the robot arm, just move the robot arm directly by hand. When the desired action is taken, the robotic arm learns and remembers these actions and repeats them.
In addition, in the design of Magician Lite, Yuejiang uses robot control algorithm and task logic programming as independent of each other.Modules, the Magic Box is introduced as the carrier of AI teaching logic programming, and can also be used as an independent open programming platform. It provides 12 expansion interfaces, such as sensor interface, communication interface, motor drive interface, power interface, etc. The process builds different teaching scenarios with other AI and sensor components such as PIXY cameras, joysticks, color sensors, photoelectric sensors, conveyor belts, and slides.
At the press conference, Liu Peichao, the founder of Yuejiang Technology, introduced not only the basic situation of new products, but also the group interviews of many media included, and talked about his views on the development of the educational robot industry.
The following is a group visit record, after editing without changing the original meaning:
Q1: What do you think is the core of AI education or STEAM education? What kind of children should we train?
I think that whether it is STEAM education, programming education, science education or AI education, the most comprehensive technology or future technology is learned. These children must adapt to the future society when they grow up. As an educational product solution provider, we want to provide products and programs that are most suitable for students’ current knowledge, inspiring their enthusiasm and fun, exercising hands-on skills and teamwork in the way they accept. I think that student development needs to be very comprehensive. It cannot be said that a technical leader is cultivated from an early age. In the process of small cultivation, creative stimulation and communication, and teamwork are also very important.
Q2: From the perspective of frontline practitioners, what is the difference in the development stage between STEAM education and AI education abroad?
STEAM education in the United States and Europe is more advanced than domestic ones. First, these countries advocate early, and second, they have a natural lead in hands-on ability and knowledge of machinery. STEAM education has a relatively poor starting point in China, and the country has not yet had time to promote it. It takes a process to switch from a number of English teaching to a robot. But in the AI education, the country is ahead of foreign countries, because the domestic is promoted from the national level, and the domestic artificial intelligence companies are slightly more.
Q3:What do you think is the different positioning of Yuejiang Technology’s products?
We believe that robotics or programming, artificial intelligence education has gone through three stages: the first is the assembly of building blocks, Lego is doing well in this field, they are the first to engage in building block education; the second is to carry the programming Education and assembling STEAM education for creative education, such as drones, trolleys, humanoid robots, building blocks and robotic arms, currently there are several mainstream teaching platforms; the third generation is a complete AI education program. We observe that there are very few hardware and software platforms on the market dedicated to artificial intelligence education.
The “Magician Lite” released today in Xinjiang is a platform for hardware and software for artificial intelligence education. The Magician Lite consists of three parts, the first to have a visual and speech-aware module, plus the Magic Box’s decision-making brain and Power Box, which forms a closed loop of perception, decision-making, and execution, just like a robot. The positioning of this product is a perfect hardware support platform for the popularization of AI in school.
Q4: What development plan does Yuejiang Technology have in the future?
Now we are focusing on K12 products, and there will be products for universities and vocational schools in the future. Relatively speaking, there is no shortage of ordinary or universal products in the market, but a lack of a more suitable teaching and application platform. Our products are unified operating system and unified platform to provide fully matched and accurate products for different stages.
In addition, Vietnam has also been in the layout industry, and will later strengthen the research of the underlying technology to achieve breakthroughs.
