Putting Cloud 9 IDE on the Wheels for Programming Cyber Physical Internet of Things Platforms Providing Educational Prototypes
The paper describes the development of educational Cyber Physical Robotic Platforms, remotely controlled via cloud technologies. The platform is implemented using Parallax ActivityBot kit (only for mechanical part) controlled by Arduino, and includes a Quad core ARM processor Mini PC MK802 V5 LE running Xubuntu Linux. The programming on the developed platform could be performed in JavaScript and HTML, providing the web interface for controlling the system through Wi Fi. Programming the platform is possible through the Cloud9 IDE web interface, enabling rewriting the code or running different programs by the user. Four equal platforms were implemented to address the need for the easily accessible educational Cyber Physical Robotic Platforms Internet of Things hardware for students and tested in the experiment.
