The Lego Mindstorms product line was the first project of "Home Education", a division of Lego Education established by employee Tormod Askildsen in 1995. Askildsen, who had previously spent ten years working for Lego Education, had grown frustrated working with teaching professionals and wanted to create an improved educational experience that was delivered directly towards children.
Enchanting is a free and open-source cross-platform educational programming language designed to program Lego Mindstorms NXT robots. [1] It is primarily developed by Southern Alberta Robotics Enthusiasts group in the province of Alberta, Canada, and runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and experimentally on Linux devices. Since 2013, the Enchanting ...
BrickOS is an open-source operating system created by Markus Noga as firmware to operate as an alternative software environment for the Lego Mindstorms Robotic Invention System. [1] BrickOS is the first open-source software made for Lego Mindstorms robots. It allows development using the C, C++, and Java programming languages.
MATLAB is a high-level programming language for numerical computing, data acquisition, and analysis. It can control Lego NXT robots over a Bluetooth serial port (serial port communication is part of the base functionality of MATLAB) or via USB. [18] (free & open-source). Simulink is a block-diagram environment for modeling and simulating ...
While teaching in the South Bronx, he learned about robotics at a teacher training and started coaching FIRST Lego League, a global STEM education and robotics program for kids up to age 16 in the ...
leJOS is a firmware replacement for Lego Mindstorms programmable bricks. Different variants of the software support the original Robotics Invention System, the NXT, and the EV3. It includes a Java virtual machine, which allows Lego Mindstorms robots to be programmed in the Java programming language. It also includes 'iCommand.jar' which allows ...
The MIT LEGO Robot Design Contest (6.270) was the original purpose for the software. [1] It became popular, however, due to its ability to compile on the fly rather than taking time to compile beforehand as other languages had done. The programming environment's newest version is IC Version 8.0.2, which supports these operating systems:
The robotics part of the competition involves designing and programming Lego Education robots [4] to complete tasks. The students work out a solution to a problem related to the theme (changes every year) and then meet for regional, national and international tournaments to compete, share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.
