我们描述了正在进行的工作roBlocks，一个计算建设工具包，鼓励用户实验和发挥与传感器，逻辑和执行器块的集合，暴露他们各种先进的概念，包括运动学，反馈和分布式控制。它的界面为新手用户提供了一组简单，有形的机器人块，而高级用户则使用软件工具来分析和重写嵌入在每个块中的程序。早期的结果表明，roBlocks可能是一种有效的工具，可以让年轻人接触到科学、技术、工程和数学方面的复杂思想。
We describe work in progress on roBlocks, a computational construction kit that encourages users to experiment and play with a collection of sensor, logic and actuator blocks, exposing them to a variety of advanced concepts including kinematics, feedback and distributed control. Its interface presents novice users with a simple, tangible set of robotic blocks, whereas advanced users work with software tools to analyze and rewrite the programs embedded in each block. Early results suggest that roBlocks may be an effective vehicle to expose young people to complex ideas in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
