Poppy Ergo Jr robot was designed for use in classrooms. It’s an excellent tool for re-introducing youngsters to subjects like programming, geometry, robotics, engineering and even design! Uses modular smart-actuators Robotis Dynamixel.
Programming
Directly from a web browser by using Jupyter Notebook, an interactive terminal in a web interface for the Python programming language.
The visual programming system Snap!, which is a variant of Scratch. Its features allow a thorough introduction of information technology.
C++, Java, Matlab, Ruby, JavaScript. Thanks to a REST API that allows sending commands and receiving information from the robot with simple HTTP requests.
