Resumo

Mobile robotics has become an essential tool in educational environments due to its dynamic and practical nature, which allows students to experiment with real-world applications. This paper introduces “Juca”, an embedded mobile robotics board designed specifically for education. Juca combines affordability, expandability, and robust functionality, making it suitable for classroom and competition environments. Key features include modular hardware akin to Arduino shields, support for differential drive robots, and seamless integration with educational programming platforms. Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness in fostering hands-on learning and engagement.
