Educational Robot for Interactive Learning

Job ID: 39619760

Budget: ₹250,000 – ₹500,000 INR

Job Posting: Robotics Engineer for Educational AI Robot

Project Overview

We are seeking a skilled Robotics Engineer to design and develop a simple, user-friendly, and safe educational robot for interactive learning. The robot should engage users in dynamic, fun, and effective learning experiences across a broad age range. It will incorporate AI (e.g., ChatGPT , gemini and many such via API) for voice interaction and educational content delivery, running on affordable hardware .

Key Requirements

Develop a Simple Educational Robot: Build a minimal, cost-effective robot focused on interactive learning, with basic movement (e.g., wheels screens), voice interaction, and educational features.

User-Friendly and Safe: Ensure the robot is intuitive to use and safe for users of all ages (e.g., rounded edges, low-power components, and simple controls).

Incorporate Engagement Features: Add interactive elements like images on screen using AI (e.g., AI API for natural language processing).

Adaptable Design: Create a robot that can be used in various learning environments (e.g., classrooms, homes, or workshops) with modular or customizable features.

API Integration: Integrate AI APIs (e.g., ChatGPT) for real-time voice interaction and educational content delivery.

Responsibilities

Design and prototype a simple robot chassis using CAD software (e.g., Fusion 360 or SolidWorks).

Program a Raspberry Pi (or similar microcontroller) for robot control, movement, and AI integration.

Integrate sensors (e.g., ultrasonic or basic camera) for basic environmental interaction or navigation.

Implement voice input/output using microphones and speakers, connected to AI APIs for interactive learning.

Ensure safety features (e.g., emergency stop, durable materials) and user-friendly controls (e.g., mobile app or simple buttons).


Test and iterate the robot to ensure reliability and educational value in diverse settings.

Ideal Skills and Experience

Robotics Engineering:

Proficiency in CAD design for simple robot chassis (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks).

Experience with motor control (e.g., DC motors or servos) for basic movement.

Knowledge of sensor integration (e.g., ultrasonic sensors, good cameras) for environmental awareness.

Embedded Systems:

Expertise in programming Raspberry Pi or any microcontrolar using a any coding language

Familiarity with Robot Operating System (ROS) or similar frameworks for robot control.

Experience with GPIO programming for sensor and actuator integration.

API Integration:

Strong experience with ChatGPT API or similar NLP APIs for voice-based interaction.

Ability to integrate and optimize AI models for real-time educational content delivery.

Educational Technology:

Experience designing interactive learning tools or edtech products.

Understanding of interactive learning principles (e.g., gamification, adaptive learning).

Safety and User Experience:

Skills in designing safe, durable, and user-friendly robotic systems for diverse age groups.

Familiarity with UX principles for intuitive controls (e.g., mobile app or voice commands).

Additional Skills (preferred):

Knowledge of lightweight AI model deployment (e.g., LLaMA) on edge devices like Raspberry Pi.

Experience with audio processing for voice input/output.

Basic computer vision (e.g., OpenCV) for visual engagement features (if applicable).

Preferred Qualifications

Proven experience building autonomous or educational robots (e.g., Raspberry Pi-based projects).

Portfolio showcasing robotics or edtech projects, ideally with AI integration.

Familiarity with safety standards for educational products (e.g., CE or UL compliance).

Strong communication skills to collaborate on project goals and provide updates.

Application Process

Please submit:


A resume or portfolio highlighting relevant robotics, edtech, or AI integration projects.



Examples of similar projects (e.g., autonomous robots, voice-controlled systems).



A brief explanation of your approach to building a simple, safe, and engaging educational robot.


Familiarity with the referenced YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-nbSGRFP4Q&t=15s) is a plus.

Budget and Timeline

Budget: Flexible, based on experience (250k-500k inr).

Timeline: Prototype within 6 months, with iterative testing.
