A Case Study on Humanoid Robot Using Robotics Software in E-learning

ABSTRACT

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, E-learning is developed significantly to unlock the key factors that support researchers/students. This paper presents a software solution on an E-learning system to control the humanoid robot, which is essential for students’ knowledge and experimental studies in the academic environment. In particular, the research concentrates on controlling NAO robots in the virtual space. First, by installing Choregraphe software, the programs are developed to calibrate and handle different factors that contribute to the robot's performance, such as joint motions, collision avoidance, navigation, localization. After that, the detailed characteristics of the NAO robot are designed and displayed on the Webot 8.4 monitor. By transmitting the connection signal from the Choregraphe to Webot 8.4, the virtual environment analyzes the effectiveness and competencies of the controllers perceived by users. A case study is investigated to inspect the robot operation and the stability of the software solution. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
