2022: Add Robbo VR virtual simulation module

The Russian educational The Robbo LMS (Learning Management System) platform is complemented by virtual a Robbo VR simulation module, which allows you to model to program prototypes of robots in virtual space. The project was implemented by the company "," ROBBO the manufacturer of the educational robotics franchiser and international network of children's technical circles "ROBBO Club," and the company Varwin using grant funds. This was Russian Information Technology Development Fund (RFRIT) announced by ROBBO on July 19, 2022.

The updated virtual simulation module helps to master the basics of programming, as well as model and test prototypes of robots right in the LMS system. The function is already available to all students of the ROBBO Clubs. Thanks to Robbo LMS with VR module, we can train another generation of competent engineers and robotics in different regions of Russia. These are future inventors and innovative entrepreneurs who will enter the labor market and contribute to digital transformation both at home and abroad, told the founder and producer of "ROBBO " Pavel Frolov.

Other features of Robbo LMS with a VR module include the ability to form professional communities, share experience, and create teams of development students. It can also be used to remotely access educational and methodological materials of teachers in the field of robotics from anywhere in the world.

Virtual reality is gradually conquering completely different areas of application - from education to production, creating opportunities for companies and markets. Our collaboration with ROBBO will enable children to access advanced technical education and training from high-quality robotics professionals regardless of residence. noted Alexey Bakanov, Project Manager Varwin.

The developers and the methodological department of ROBBO have adapted the platform to the tasks of children's technical education - in addition to the main components of LMS, such as video tutorials, "virtual boards" and group chats, an update has appeared in the company - a workbook with technical tasks to study the basics of programming. The system also includes a two-dimensional proprietary simulator "ROBBO," designed to teach children classic robot programming using the visual language Scratch. Minecraft programming, Python, 3D modeling through Tinkercad and Freecad, circuitry through a simulator in Tinkercad and a full Unity course are available. Interactive and frequent activity changes help keep students' attention on what is happening from the beginning to the end of the lesson.

The Robbo LMS platform was launched in 2021 to conduct remote programming, robotics and 3D modeling classes in the ROBBO Club network circles based on the LMS platform, which has already proven itself in teaching students at major Russian universities. The solution consists of five components: a visual editor for the logic of interaction of virtual reality objects; a service for compiling object interaction logic; a virtual reality runtime capable of dynamically loading pre-compiled objects; an application for storing worlds/scenes and objects in a virtual reality environment; system of personal accounts of users.

We see great prospects for projects related to the development of educational metaverse. Russia is one of the main ones in the use of VR in the learning process. We have more and more centers of expertise in this area, and virtual classes are being actively introduced in educational organizations. The task of projects such as ROBBO is to offer competitive solutions that can replace foreign products. The grant funds helped to put the VR modeling platform Varwin Robotics into commercial operation faster, said Director General of RFRITAlexander Pavlov.

The project "Introduction of the VR modeling platform for robotic devices Varwin Robotics for the mass creation of multimedia interactive online courses on robotics based on VR technologies" has great social impact - it significantly expands the possibilities and accessibility of distance education to current information technologies and robotics for children. With the ability to learn robotics online in a virtual reality environment, there is no need to purchase an expensive hardware device, the EdTech kit. You can undergo training from any settlement of the country. The implemented solution has already made it possible, within the framework of educational courses, to provide the market not only equipment for training in robotics, but also virtual models of equipment for training.

2021: Description

Educational The ROBBO LMS online platform was developed with the support of Innovation Promotion Fund a Development grant. NTI For March 2021, it allows you to organize full-fledged online training, to programming robotics,. 3D modeling It has built-in 2D and 3D simulators to robot ensure that training is to robotics equally effective both in the classroom and on. remote lesson
