- Abstract
- This master thesis explores the possibilities and benefits of substituting a LEGO® MINDSTORMS® brick with a Raspberry Pi® based solution. The core of the thesis consists in the creation of Raspoid, an open-source Java framework, combining MINDSTORMS® components and cheap electronics. The first part presents the context of the project. The second part explains the Raspoid framework operating principle in detail. The third part introduces sensors and actuators integrated in the framework, and their operating principle. The fourth part discusses educational advantages of our low-cost computing platform. A conclusion is that open electronics in conjunction with Raspoid could be a valuable tool for education. A Raspberry Pi® can be used with a BrickPi as an alternative to the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® brick. We show that possibilities offered by the Raspberry Pi® are numerous. This master thesis hopes to offer all students useful tips on creating and developing robots using the Java programming language and proposes a concrete solution to do so.
