Abstract
This paper explores the development of a robotic toy that will be helping students in kinematic physics. Physics has always been a hard class and it is very difficult for students to understand the concepts behind each topic in physics. Ki-bot will help students not only solve kinematic word problems, but also understand the concept of kinematic word problems by testing their answers to word problems on the bot. Ki-bot will essentially bring kinematic word problems to life to help the student understand kinematic physics. The paper will explore the advantages and disadvantages of using interactive toys for learning and will also discuss the other products in the market that help students in kinematic physics. I will also discuss the design decisions, coding decisions, and some of the testing I did in the process of building and developing Ki-Bot. Ki-bot has been successful in showing the proof of concept that this will work in helping students test their answer to word problems and understand them. Additionally, I will discuss the future work that could be done to improve Ki-bot.
