Engineering Education Using a Long-Distance- Controlled Robot System to Enhance Students' Motivation

Abstract

This paper described the outline of a Long- Distance-Controlled Robot System to enhance students' motivation. In this system, the players operate the robots on one physical site via the Internet. To confirm w hether the developed system was able to be used, we held exchange association between the elementary schools in Japan by the robot game named 'Ball Rolling Game' using this system. It was clarified that our system could be used for the exchange association between the elementary schools from the results of the question naire. In addition, we tried the international exchange be tween Singapore and Japan using the system.
