Design and Implementation of Open Source Based on IoT and Robot Manipulator Arm Training Equipment

Abstract

Hyper-connected, hyper-intelligent, hyper-realistic and hyper-convergence technologies; the core of 4th industrial revolution, are acting as innovative engine. Especially, The Internet of Things and robot technology have become main convergence players in STEAM education to foster creative computing thinking skills. Now, educational field purchases various sensors, breadboards, Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Robot Manipulator Arm respectively for practical training because there is no integrated training equipment in educational field. However, purchasing them simultaneously for one practical training is fairly inefficient. Therefore, in this study, author have developed integrated design, implementation of IoT and Robot Manipulator Arm by HW method, and applied Internet web technology in the SW method so that the training equipment can be controlled and managed from remote location. Also, it is designed to maintain the characteristics of Open Source, operating on microcomputers, extended HW systems, and Separate operating system. It has been evaluated for environment and performance test in relation to integrated power supply design by integrated wiring, the operation. Performance for managing open source-based controls has been verified. The advantage of training equipment in this study is user-friendly design implementation, which is expected to improve the quality of EduTech industry development and convergence education due to better efficiency. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
