An educational gaming system includes control cards, road pieces and a robotic device. Each of the control cards has a graphic corresponding to an instruction. The road pieces are arranged to form a road on which the robotic device is configured to move. The robotic device is communicable with an electronic device that executes an application program. The electronic device captures an image of the graphic of the control card, conducts a machine learning algorithm based on the image to obtain the instruction, and transmits the instruction to the robotic device. The robotic device obtains a road-piece signal value that is generated by scanning one of the road pieces, and performs movement based on the instruction and the road-piece signal value.

A programmable robot (1) for educational purposes comprising a body (2) comprising a drive system (21) for causing the robot to move, an information acquisition device (22) configured to acquire information from an external information carrying element (101), and a first connection element (23), and a head (3) comprising a control system (31) with a data storage element (32) and a processor element (34) being configured to receive a data signal transmitted from the at least one information acquisition device, the data signal comprising the acquired information from the external information carrying element, to process the data signal to interpret the information and achieve instructions, and to cause the drive system (21) to move the robot (1) in accordance with the instructions, and a second connection element (33), where the body (2) and the head (3) are adapted to be detachably coupled to one another by connecting the first connection element (23) and the second connection element (33) to one another.

Systems and methods for stabilizing the steering and throttle of a radio-controlled (RC) vehicle are described herein. More specifically, sensors and circuitry are configured to control the wheel speed and wheel direction of a RC vehicle based on rotational information. In operation, one or more sensors may be configured to receive angular rotational information associated with a rotation of the RC vehicle. The rotational information may define a rotation of the RC vehicle around one or more axes of the RC vehicle. The circuitry may be configured to receive the angular rotation information associated with the rotation of the RC vehicle from the one or more sensors, and control a wheel speed and/or a wheel direction of at least one wheel of the RC vehicle based at least in part on (i) command data received from a controller associated with the RC vehicle and (ii) the received angular rotation information.

A programming device including a planar shape indication section which receives at least one first user operation for indicating a planar shape by specifying two or more portions among a plurality of portions arranged at different positions in a planar direction; a height reception section which receives at least one second user operation for indicating a height that is a position in a direction intersecting with the plane or a displacement amount of the height in association with a portion of any of the two or more portions; and a control section which generates a command list for moving a control target section along a three-dimensional shape indicated by the planar shape indication section and the height reception section.

A remote-controlled toy vehicle with intelligent interchangeable heads is provided where the operational characteristics of the remote-control toy vehicle changes depending on the particular intelligent interchangeable head that may be detachably mounted to the toy vehicle. Some of the characteristics of the remote-control toy vehicle that may change include, but are not limited to, speed level, acceleration level, sound effects and lighting effects.
