Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University
Kyiv, Ukraine

Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University was given the Formula Flowcode Buggy complete sets. Now, students can use it at our Embedded System Lab.

These buggy robots were given to our University in the frame of the Tempus project DesIRE "Development of Embedded System Courses with implementation of Innovative Virtual approaches for integration of Research,Education and Production UA, GE, AM," № 544091-TEMPUS-1-2013-1-BE-TEMPUS-JPCR.

The Formula Flowcode robot buggy allows users of all ages to learn about robotics systems and understand how they are controlled. This maze solving robot has been designed to provide a motivating platform for learning robotics and it helps to develop logical and algorithmic thinking.

With the help of this set, students can get the new programming skills. The easy-to-use interface means those with little experience of programming are able to pick up the fundamentals quickly. The Formula Flowcode robot is designed for use with Flowcode (a PIC, dsPIC, ARM and AVR Arduino IDE), which includes a simulation of the robot sensors and motors. Simply develop the program, simulate its functionality on-screen and then click on a button to download the program to the robot via USB.
