This Makeblock mBot2 School Solution kit includes: 16 x mBot2, 12 x Smart Cameras – Add-on, 8 x AI and IoT Creator Add-on, 8 x AI and IoT Scientist Add-on, and 4 x AI and IoT Education Toolkit Add-on Packs.
The mBot2 is a next-generation educational robot designed with extended capabilities, starting as an entry-level solution and going all the way to upper high school and beyond. Educators can carry out very interactive and smart lessons for the class.
mBot2 is powered by CyberPi, an educational microcontroller enhanced with network capabilities, built-in sensors and much more. mBot2 is designed to carry out interactive lessons that are reflecting real-world applications with cutting-edge technologies, including robotics, AI, IoT and Data Science. With CyberPi, students can connect multiple mBots to create a local network of robots that comunicate between themselves, share information, and perform tasks.
When connected to the Internet, mBot2 can perform advanced features such as speech recognition, and get information such as weather updates at the destination.
With mBlock’s enhanced coding learning experience, mBot 2 allows students and educators to begin with the block-based coding approach, and seamlessly transition into object-oriented coding with Python, all in the same environment. Teachers can remotely manage their activities in mBlock with Google Classroom.
Key Features:
- Powered by CyberPi – a powerful and versatile microcontroller for education
- Program with block-based coding and progress to text-based Python
- Precision Control – The encoder motors in mBot2 can be precisely controlled by their rotation, speed and position
- Enhanced and durable – mBot2 comes with the next-generation sensors and motors which are developed with education in mind
- Ideal for robotics competitions
- Built-in long-lasting battery
- Extension electronic modules can be connected in series. There is no limit to the number of electronic extension modules supported.
The smart camera can learn and recognise brightly coloured objects as well as detecting bar codes and lines, which allows it to be used in various applications, such as garbage sorting, intelligent transportation, object tracking, and intelligent line following. Supported devices: mBot, mBot Ranger, CyberPi, Halocode.
With the Creator Add-on Pack, students can learn Artificial Intelligence (AI), apply the technology to everyday life, and complete science projects by using commonly-used sensors and visual programming. The 13 modules are programmable in both block-based and Python languages. A wide range of coding blocks are available for students to create different projects.
