Telecommunications System & Management

The robots are those machines programmed that day by day fulfill a particular function and that take shape as a fundamental part of our lives, around the world different types of robots are developed, they are built from those that are manufactured for the Industrial areas to those For Educational purposes, El Salvador for its part is not the exception, since it has inventors and researchers who have developed robotics projects of different kinds and fields of  study,  among  them  we  can  mention  Ademir  Bermúdez,  who  throughout  the  years  has  dabbled  and  driven  in robotics  in  the  country  with  the  development  of  different  robots  some  of  them  created  at  the  Gerardo  Barrios University (UGB) and other personal. Within the UGB, the best known robots are Robotito, Robi a robot for the social interaction of children with special needs, Alan T Robot a service robot and which is in AI processes and a robotics kit from 4 grade to University, among others.

DEVELOPMENT:

The semi-humanoid Robot A06 arises from the ideal of the Christopher robot where each version of "A" has been printed in 3D, the latest version is in 3D printing, measures 65 cm, has two arms, waist, face and base With wheels for the construction of the robot, the next development cycle is carried out, the objective of the robot is clear.

The  project  aims  to  be  a  learning  robot  for  children  and  young  people,  thereby  promoting  the  ease  of  human-robot interaction through:

Minibloq, Ardublockly, Arduino, Visual Studio, Snap4Arduino, also for body movements among other languages.

The robot has sensors to interact with the environment, said electronic components known as; motion sensors, distance, colors, sound detection that interconnected with each other allow the robot to perform some activities that are executed, in turn it has two screens that allow the simulation of emotional states similar to those of the human being in order that it has a certain degree of empathy with its surroundings, so it also has a screen where it shows data captured by its sensors or other relevant information and that serves as a parameter to the human being, in the same way it has a horn for the emission of sounds with an internal memory of 16GB.

Each of its versions seeks to reach the maximum of the ideals in order to meet its development objective, it should be emphasized that the final idea is to have a functional robot, printed in 3D, easy to control and that can be programmed on different platforms.

The name is  from  the  story  of  the  predecessor  of  Astro  Boy,  which  was  called  A106  or  ATOM  which  is  the  goal  of reaching an advanced robot in the future.

METHODS:

The  research  methodology  is  applied  since  the  development  of  the  robot  is  based  on  previous  and  experimental knowledge since it collects data from people who have interacted with it and its previous versions, thus working with a mixed method with a qualitative approach.

RESULTS:

The project is still under development, some tests have been carried out with versions A01, A02, until A06, the following versions by components are on hold
