The rapid development of information technology and industrial automation where computers become an integral part of the technology itself, makes computer integration with other disciplines such as electronics, programming and mechanics can not be avoided.

Each module is made according to student ability levels. Teaching elementary school level, more on playing robots, but still maintain the element of education. At the high school level, students are given an introduction began the introduction of programming and technology by studying the structure of programming, assembling and working in groups. At university level, students take modules not only understand the basic principles of robotics and programming but also challenged to modify the program and the construction of the robot.
