Abstract

This paper presents a platform for Internet-based robotics competition and education of secondary students. The platform adopts the Client/Server architecture which enables students to compete interactive robotics games via the Internet. To facilitate learning of the students participating in the robotics competition, a robotics curriculum and the supporting hardware and software kits have been also developed. The kit includes an Integrated GUI-based programming interface, a logic simulator for debugging and a hardware platform for program verification. With the developed education kit, students can program robot actions just using the flowchart without knowing any program language. The effectiveness of the Internet competition platform and the robotics curriculum has been proven in the competitions and education activities organized in Hong Kong.
