Type	Education Textbook

Let’s move “Robot” with 4 types of “Sensor Information”!

This book explains about “How to make ‘Robot’ using ‘NXT’ ” and ” ‘Sample Program’ using ‘Kinect’ ” in details.
（A）
The result of the developed program is visualized by “human motion” and “robot motion”.
（B）
It is ideal method for learning “software development” because it uses a wide range of educational practice fields such as “C # programming”, “communication control”, “measurement and robot control” and “multithread”.

 

Kinect for Windows (Sensor)

“Detection of position information of skeleton (bones of human body)” “Detection of depth information” “Face recognition” “Voice recognition”

 

Mindstorm NXT (robot)

“Parts set” combining “motor”, “gear” and “various sensors”
