Teaching with open-source robotic manipulator

In this paper we present and evaluate the usage of an open-source robotic manipulator platform, that we have developed, in the context of various educational scenarios that we have conducted. The system was tested in multiple diverse learning scenarios, ranging from a summer school for primary-school students, to the course at the university level study. We show that the introduction of the system in the educational process improves the motivation as well as acquired knowledge of the participants.
