Michael Aivaliotis Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 See link: Student Robotics in China Dr. Yun had observed that robotics combined so many areas of technology and that students naturally responded to robotics with great energy. His team created the AS series of robots and convinced the Chinese government to try it as an educational"demonstration" program in 2000. The tests proved successful, and robotics has been integrated into China's national high school curriculum. In some provinces, every high school student now studies robotics for at least one semester. The AS-M system meets the needs of a wide range of roboticists. Beginners learn the robotic basics of electronics, mechanics and software programming. The AS-M's "VJC" graphical programming language teaches logic and proper design right from the start. For intermediate students the AS-M's unique interchangeable sensor system lets users create sophisticated solutions with minimal delay. More experienced programmers can actually "lift the hood" on the graphical programming language, and work directly with the "C" code inside, giving them complete control. The VJC software runs with any version of Windows from 98 onward, and we've even had good results using it on a Macintosh running Virtual PC software and a USB to serial converter.
