Laporan Inovasi dan Kreatif: Embedded Robotic Teaching Kit (KIKHB)

Abstract

This innovation report presents the development of the Embedded Robotic Teaching Kit (ERTK), an educational tool designed to support practical learning for the DGI40122 Embedded Robotic course at Politeknik Tun Syed Nasir Syed Ismail (PTSN). Created by the "KITA ADA" Innovative and Creative Group, the kit addresses key teaching challenges including the lack of hands-on resources, limited instructor expertise in robotics, and poor student mastery of technical skills. Developed through a 12-phase design thinking approach, the ERTK integrates embedded system design, C programming, software application, hardware development, and outcome evaluation into a compact, modular training kit. Its implementation has led to improved course outcome achievements and has been successfully used in internal and external exhibitions, final-year student projects, and lifelong learning programs. Registered with MyIPO and recognized through national innovation awards, the ERTK exemplifies a scalable, cost-effective solution for enhancing robotics education in the Malaysian TVET ecosystem.
