Kit Contents:

Objects for Recognition

• Cards with characters for recognition, used in the automated goods receipt scenario by means of optical character recognition (OCR) — 1 set
• Cards with images of waste, objects for classification by shape, colour or type in the waste sorting scenario — 1 set
• Product models and product boxes, objects for gripping, moving and recognition in warehouse and retail scenarios — 1 set

Working Environment

• Specialised fields (mats) for modelling working scenarios, a sorting field and a scenario field with marked working zones — 2 pcs
• Storage rack, shelves for placing boxes and product models in warehouse and retail scenarios — 1 pc

Standard Learning Scenarios

• Automated goods receipt at a warehouse, through character recognition — the camera reads the character on a box, the software recognises it by optical character recognition (OCR) and the manipulator places the box on the assigned shelf of the rack
• Waste sorting, through classification of objects by shape, colour or type; the scenario is also performed in voice mode, with the waste type named aloud and the recognised speech compared with the image recognition result
• Automatic shelf replenishment in a shop, through image recognition and segmentation; before running the scenario the classifier is trained on the school’s own samples — a series of shots is taken of each product model, the model is named and the trained recognition model is saved
• Voice shopping assistant, through speech and face recognition; the software accepts a simulated order and converts it into a sequence of manipulator actions with product models
• The accessories for each scenario are assembled as a separate thematic set

Digital Materials

• Access to digital teaching and learning materials, 70 academic hours in a learning management system, with an integrated AI assistant; licence (right of access) 12 months; language Ukrainian — 1 set

Supplied Separately

• Educational robotic manipulator, its switching unit and machine vision camera are not part of this product and are supplied separately: the set is a supplement to them and works only in combination with a manipulator having 4 degrees of freedom

Product passport: ULABS-ROB-DE-5002 (PDF)

The digital learning materials come with access to an AI assistant that runs on the same learning management platform and is built on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, with a localised knowledge base aligned with the national curriculum of Ukraine.

AI Assistant Functions

• Task selection: automated selection of research tasks and experiments matching the topic of the lesson
• Methodological support: step-by-step description of the procedure for conducting experimental research
• Error analysis: identification of typical student errors and personalised recommendations for correcting them
• Adaptive difficulty: adaptation of task difficulty to different levels of student preparation
• Reports and conclusions: support in compiling reports on research results and in structuring the conclusions drawn from experiments
• Knowledge base: operation on a localised knowledge base aligned with the national curriculum of Ukraine
• Licence: right of access to the software and materials valid for 12 months
• Language: content, interface and learning materials in Ukrainian

Access is provided on the edu.unowa.eu platform.
