<p>Created page with &#039;{{Grant Application |Project Title=Open Robotics Platform |applicants=HyperNeurotek |contact person=Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero |coordinator=Rafael Ortiz Guerrero |start dat…&#039;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Grant Application<br /> |Project Title=Open Robotics Platform <br /> |applicants=HyperNeurotek<br /> |contact person=Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero<br /> |coordinator=Rafael Ortiz Guerrero<br /> |start date=2010/07/01<br /> |end date=2010/11/01<br /> |Affiliation=SugarLabs Colombia<br /> |Mainurl=http://www.hyperprogram.com, http://co.sugarlabs.org<br /> |Affiliated=No<br /> |description=We are proposing to make a fully Open Robotics learning platform for children, using Arduino and free software projects, like Turtle art. We have now a beta of this and it's called Hypercubo. <br /> |output=We will be giving PCB's diagrams (for electronic circuits), Tutorials, Wikis, forums and chats, channels of communication to teach and learn how to do things with our Platform. In synthesis we will be giving a complete guide on how to make a KIT for doing robotics for children. <br /> |community=We are targeting children that cannot access these kind of technologies due to the fact that existent Kits have hight costs for example LEGO and VEX. We are aiming to reach poor children or children that don't have access to Robotics by numerous reasons. In occasions Private schools don't acquire Robotics Kits because they don't integrate it to curriculum, we also expect to integrate a pedagogical resources. <br /> |community relationship=I have four years of experience working in open education projects like OLPC and Sugar. We have now possible places of implementation both in Government and in Private sectors. In our country (Colombia) there are not institutions working on open technologies and Education as a main axis of its development or strategies. <br /> <br /> |measurement=We will be conducting trials on how children improve abilities on solving puzzles in others subjects like mathematics after they use our Robotics Kits to solve automation and Robotics general and simple problems. <br /> |participants=We are three people, Working in the technical and pedagogical aspects of a Robotics Kit, this process is already on an Beta stage, this Grant would be to boost it up and been able to finish it, because we are laking resources right now.<br /> |impact=There is not a single open robotics kit for children education in the market, having one would be a start up for many more interesting projects with Robotics and similar Technologies, that can be accessed by all people. <br /> |tech needs=We will be using Arduino, our own hardware platform called Hypercubo, squeak-etoys, scratch and Turtle Art. <br /> <br /> We are software and hardware developers interested in how Technologies impact culture. <br /> |challenges=One problem we expect to face is the commercialization and long term economic sustainability, we want this grant to be a start up to our project and be able to commercialize it in our country and probably in Latin America. Other commercial solutions can be also developed with our platform. <br /> |sustainability=We expect to develop other open hardware products and services related to the kit, due to the fact that this base circuit can be used in commercial solutions.<br /> We plane to have an e-commerce implementation in our page and doing similar things as Sparkfun electronics, Adafruit Technologies and so forth.<br /> <br /> |scalability=By the fact that this is a project that can be accessed for people in all the world and has low costs, and also that can be duplicated (We don not hide anything and by others we expect to have an scalable impacts.<br /> |resource needs=Nothing, besides the grant and publicity ;).<br /> |communication=We already communicate on forums, mail lists and chat, we will be also launching an e-commerce solution to be able to reach more countries with our product. <br /> We have also twitter accounts, proximately a facebook group and a CMS portal made in Joomla, we also be welcoming people that can provide us with capital for investment in our project. <br /> |budget=Costs.xls<br /> |legal=Yes<br /> }}</div>
