RobotMe summary

An ITESO team in Guadalajara developed RoboMeshA, a portable platform intended to bring robotics and AI lessons to high schools without dedicated labs, IEEE Spectrum reports. Students interact through a web browser and can explore robot movement and obstacle avoidance.

The report describes two completed units and work on modular expansion. The project combines mechanics, electronics, control and software in a classroom tool; it is not a nationwide rollout.
