Robotics and environmental sensing for low-income populations: Design principles, impact, technology, and results

Programmable devices have become very popular in schools, for robotics, environmental sensing, and even interactive art. However, in developing countries, their penetration has been limited due either to unavailability or high cost. In this paper, we discuss recent work on an open-source, low-cost p...
