The Design and Implementation of OpenGL-based Comprehensive Educational Robot System

In this paper, the authors present the design and implementation of MountTai, a cost effective OpenGL based comprehensive educational robot system for China´s primary and high school education. Firstly the system´s goal and framework is introduced, then it is described the MountTai robot´s functions and construction in hardware. The paper expatiates at length how VR technology is used to implement the system software as well as how the software´s functions are designed to illustrate robotics in different perspectives relating to mechanics, electronics, communication, artificial intelligence, language programming. The Web-based teaching course dedicated to robot-DIY tutorials is also shown. Finally, concluding remarks for future works are given.
