Hexapod robot for teaching mechanisms for transforming movements
In this work, the design and application of a robotic prototype, based on the movement of the hexapods, is presented as a motivating tool for learning mechanisms to transform movements, oriented at high school students. The research had a mixed approach, with a quasi-experimental design, which involved 16 of tenth grade students, together with the professor of the technology area. It is interesting to note that, before implementing the robotic prototype in the classroom, the 16 students had difficulties in identifying the concepts about mechanisms; In contrast, after having interacted with the prototype during an academic period, 15 of the 16 students identified the components and mechanisms related to the transformation of movements. It is concluded that the movement of the hexapods, applied in an educational robot, facilitates the learning of various topics in the area of technology, especially those related to the concepts of mechanics.
