This project is part of the course Basics of mobile robotics (ME-452). The goal is to create a software enabling the Thymio to find its path through a set of obstacles. To this end, it will need to ...

This project implements and experimentally validates a data-driven control strategy for the automatic parallel parking of a Thymio II mobile robot. The controller is synthesized without an explicit, ...

Getting children interested in robotics is easier than ever these days. A number of platforms exist that provide an introduction to the subject and some—like the Thymio—are appearing inside classrooms ...

In the past year alone, Swiss research institute EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne/Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) has brought us things such as a mini ionic motor for satellites, ...

Abstract: Thymio II is a small robot developed for education. It aims at offering a wide public the possibility to understand the basics of robotics and programming. To achieve this, it aims at being ...

Educational robotics have become increasingly reliable, affordable, and appealing, educators in the field believe—yet they still have qualms about using them for instruction, says a new European study ...
