标题: iRobot acquired education-focused company Root Robotics [打印本页] 作者: eleshpate25 时间: 2019-06-24 20:22 标题: iRobot acquired education-focused company Root Robotics iRobot enters the education marketplace[br]iRobot is best known for its robots used in the home, and now it’s looking to [a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/irobot-introduces-the-root-coding-robot-through-acquisition-of-root-robotics-300871587.html"]enter the classroom with a new acquisition[/a]. The company has announced that it has acquired Root Robotics, which sells a robot and platform that helps children learn how to code.[br][br]Root Robotics originated as a [a href="https://www.theverge.com/2016/4/19/11459162/harvards-root-robot-teaches-kids-how-to-code"]research project at Harvard University a couple of years ago[/a], and its [a href="https://root.irobot.com/pages/discover-root"]Robot[/a] already looks considerably like a Roomba — it’s a small, circular device that uses two wheels to drive around on a flat surface. It’s accompanied by an app that teaches children how to program the robot to do a variety of tasks, like drawing (the robot has a hold to place a marker in), creating music or games, and more.[br]iRobot says that the acquisition will help it “diversify its educational robot product offerings, further demonstrating its commitment to make robotic technology more accessible to educators, students and parents.” In doing so, it’s joining the space occupied by other similar companies, like Wonder Workshop, which manufactures [a href="https://www.makewonder.com/robots/dash/"]Dash[/a] and [a href="https://www.makewonder.com/robots/dot-creativity-kit/"]Dot[/a], and Learning Resource’s [a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=66960X1514734&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.learningresources.com%2Fproduct%2Fbotley-the-coding-robot-activity-set-2935.do"]Botley[/a], all of which teach coding and programming through their own apps.[br]Presumably, as Root allows iRobot to enter the education marketplace, it’ll be able to utilize its existing platforms for future products. Root Robot is now for sale on iRobot’s website, and retails for $199 for an individual robot, while a 30-pack for classrooms goes for just under $6,000. The company also sells an academic app ($60), and a whiteboard surface ($30) for it to operate on.[br][br]作者: Hegde 时间: 2019-06-25 22:35

Education is a very important thing, more than that the decision what to develop in your mind is even more important! I am a programmer, and the Cisco certificate has helped me a lot in my profession. And if you love electronics, then it should be interesting to you and help in your future work. I took exams at a company that provides Cisco certificates. First, it is inexpensive. Secondly, there are good specialists working there. And third, exams are held online. If you are interested, I will leave a link and you can read it spotoclub.com.
