A Browser-Based City for a Delivery Robot: Arduino Uno, Physics, and Pedestrians Who Yield

The project authors have introduced an interactive 3D city simulation designed for teaching the fundamentals of robotics. The virtual environment features working traffic lights, pedestrian movement, and interaction with a six-wheeled delivery robot. The development's uniqueness lies in the fact that the robot is controlled by actual Arduino code running directly in the user's browser. Aimed at children and adults in robotics clubs, the project allows users to visually explore the principles of programming autonomous systems, movement physics, and navigation algorithms in an urban setting. The simulation provides a safe and accessible platform for code experimentation, where virtual pedestrians react to the robot's approach, adding realism to the learning process. This tool aims to make education more engaging and visual by combining classic microcontroller programming approaches with modern web technologies.
