  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Robotics in Education

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 457))

Abstract

The contribution describes a modular educational robotic platform Yrobot and its networking extension module. This module is designed for wireless communication among multiple Yrobot platforms as well as for interfacing with smart devices and computers. The networking module enables to verify various wireless communication standards and technologies in ISM band. In the text, the motivation for developing of such extension module is described as well as circuit solution implementation and firmware attributes for the module.
