Robotito is an omnidirectional robot designed and developed at Universidad de la República, Uruguay. It is part of a research line in educational robotics aimed at developing free software and open hardware robots for educational use. It was developed in 2018 and has been used in various research projects and educational activities since then. The demo aims to present the robot and its two programming interfaces (tangible and digital interface) to the IDC community to discuss its use in research and education, identify possible extensions and improvements, and encourage international collaborations.
