Abstract
This paper describes a group of robots for cleaning a simulated environment and proposes an efficient algorithm for navigation based on Pathfinding A *. No need for vision sensors. As a result it was observed that the robots can work cooperatively to clear the ground and that the navigation algorithm is effective in cleaning. In order to test its efficiency it was compared the combination of the Pathfinding A* algorithm and the decision algorithm proposed in this paper with Pathfinding A* and Euclidean distance, resulted in an improvement in time and distance traveled. © CLAWAR Association.

Abstract
This paper describes the use of NAO robot, a humanoid robot and the use of Arduino in education for final engineering projects in the area of engineering. This learning approach was implemented in the final project of the Biomedical Engineering degree. The objective this project is the sensorial extension of the NAO platform, integrating a set of sensors that allow not only to analyze multiple vital parameters in a passive way but also to obtain a more precise contextual information. © CLAWAR Association.

Abstract
Over the years robotics has made great progress. Nowadays, robots begin to be part of the life of any person, designated social robotic. Humanoid robots are fascinating and have several advantages, such as they can work in places where there is a risk of contamination, risk of health, danger of life, places that are difficult to access. They also are able to access different types of terrain and to climb stairs. NAO robot is currently the humanoid platform with high sensory capacity that it has lower costs in the market. This robot is similar to human in order to have a more real and natural with society. Using the capabilities of the robot and adding other sensors, we can have a more powerful machine in our society. NAO robot is presented in this paper as a domestic robot. © CLAWAR Association.

Abstract
Millions of people worldwide suffer from motor disabilities, which bring alongside many other related problems, such as self-esteem issues and their constant need for a carer. While there are treatments to reduce the impact of the impairment on the patient's life, they can be either very costly or be alternative methods that are not directly aimed at rehabilitation purposes, such as the usage of Kinect Adventures to make the patient perform favorable poses and stretching limbs to help the undergoing treatment. Even though a low-cost device, the Kinect can acquire valuable data and make the patient perform exercises. However, a more direct and targeted approach might achieve better results with a game aimed for them. To attend to the many forms and variations of motor impairments, a starting point may be necessary for the development of exergames that fulfill the needs of each patient and impairment. The result is a low-cost base project that can be easily used, created using only online free tools while giving the developer creative freedom and a properly aimed solution to the patients.

Abstract
This article describes the development cycle of an educational robot designed to act as an interdisciplinary teaching tool integrated into the curriculum of STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). We focused on the creation of the alpha version of the prototype and its heuristic evaluation by three experts, with the objective of appraising both usability and potential design problems. After all the issues and suggestions from the experts have been resolved and implemented, a beta version was developed and evaluated in its usability by five representatives of end-users with different age ranges and robotics knowledge. The System Usability Scale score of 92.5 points - Best Imaginable - show a very stable and satisfactory robot, with almost no usability problems detected.
