"my Robot Sensor Kit - myRSK" is an project which dealt with the complex theme of the robotics and  automation, through a series of didactic experiences.
This project aim at the diffusion of technical and scientific culture in the field of automation and robotics, using Lego Mindstorms Robot and intelligence-based PC in Embedded Real Time with NI FPGA programmed with LabView. It has been a cooperation between didactics and industrial fields, purposing to create a hardware and software platform for the “research and educational” area, which allows to elaborate advanced automation controls in a simple and instinctive way.
“My Robot Sensor Kit” is an extracurricular project which dealt with the complex theme of the robotics and 
automation, through a series of didactic experiences.
The said targets have been possible thanks to both the components and the development environment 
chosen: the first were the Lego™ Mindstorms mechatronic components, which offered high availability and 
low price; while, to program the embedded platform “NI MyRIO”, it has been used NI LabVIEW, the 
National Instruments’ graphic environment. This combination offers an instinctive, powerful and reliable 
way to do didactic automation. 
The project was launched during the 2013‐14 AY by the technical institute ITI “F. Severi” (prof. Alessandro Scroccaro), homed in Padua, and supported by I.R.S. S.r.l. Padova and National Instruments Italy Srl (ing. Massimo Rapini). It was presented for the first time during the “NIDays” in Milan on 12th March 2015.
Thanks to the project, the school won a funding of 20 000€ by the scholastic education and research 
ministry  (MIUR).  The  amount  has  entirely  been  investedinto  equipment  for  the  automation  and  the 
mechatronics laboratories, thus enabling an ever‐increasing number of students to take part in the project 
in future. 
During  the  past  academic  year  (2014‐15  AY),  the  project  has  seen  the  active  participation  of  five 
enterprising and deserving students, chosen from the last year (5th) and among three different courses of 
the secondary school. Now the project is developed at the institute F. Severi and at other technicians institute, who have adopted this platform hardware and software.
Interest to students to the world of robotics and automation with advanced a practical approach.
The said targets have been possible thanks to both the components and the development environment
chosen: the first were the Lego™ Mindstorms mechatronic components, which offered high availability and
low price; while, to program the embedded platform “NI MyRIO”, it has been used NI LabVIEW, the
National Instruments’ graphic environment. This combination offers an instinctive, powerful and reliable
way to do didactic automation.
Moreover, the Lego™ Mindstorms products offered large range of hardware components, like sensors,
actuators and structural mechanic pieces, at a low price. Therefore it permitted to quickly assemble and
overhaul different prototypes of robots or, generally, automation systems, thus eliminating the problems
resulting from expensive and complex mechanical machining processes.
Currently the project is affecting experimentally about 40 students dell'Istitito F. Severi and many other institutes.
Learn programming of robots and automated systems with LabVIEW.
Learn principal specification of sensors and transducers in robotic and automation.
