ROBOTICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A SCHOOL PROJECT FOR CREATING AN INTELLIGENT ASSISTANT ROBOT
Petya Zheleva · Education and Technologies Journal · 2025
his article presents a school project focused on developing an intelligent assistant robot with elements of artificial intelligence. The main goal is to demonstrate how students can integrate AI and robotics into the educational process through hands-on activities. The project utilizes an Arduino Uno microcontroller, vari- ous sensors, a microphone module, and a servo motor, all programmed using the Arduino IDE. The robot will be coded to recognize and respond to voice commands using the VoiceRecognitionV3.h library and C++ language within the Arduino environment. Students will create a program that enables the robot to perform simple actions—such as turning on a light, moving a motor, or responding with motion—based on specific voice inputs. The project allows students to gain practical experience in programming, logical thinking, and teamwork, while also fostering interest in modern technologies and their application in education.
