Donnie Assistive Robot: User Manual¶
About Donnie¶
Warning
This document is for users only. If you want to build, configure, or add features to your Donnie, please refer to the Donnie Assistive Robot: Developer Manual
Donnie is an assistive technology project, whose objective is to use robotics to facilitate programming teaching to visually impaired students. It is divided in two main parts:
- The construction and fine-tuning of the titular mobile robot, Donnie;
- The project’s software stack, including an intuitive parser/interpreter and a robot simulation environment;
The project is in its second version, developed in the Laboratório de Sistemas Autônomos (LSA) of the Pontific Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Brazil.
