Abstract
This paper designs an educational robot platform according to the needs of robot education for primary and middle school students. The mechanical mechanism design of the robot platform is carried out, and the environment sensing module based on multi-sensor information fusion is designed. The robot platform control is realized based on the ADRC control algorithm. The chassis control board uses the STM32 control board with the STM32F405RG microcontroller as the core. The board integrates MicroPython firmware, which enables access and control of the underlying hardware through the Python scripting language. The sensor modules such as the inertial navigation module and the vision module are connected with the Raspberry Pi development board. The raspberry PI development board conducts path planning according to multi-sensor information fusion, and sends control instructions to the chassis control board through the serial port. On this basis, the Python plug-in management system is designed to realize the graphical programming control robot.
