Abstract

This article addresses the development of a low-cost robot hand as an educational tool in the field of computer science. The project arises from the need to improve the practical understanding of complex concepts in technical education students, specifically in programming and operating systems. The research focuses on two main areas: the design and implementation of a robot hand prototype and the evaluation of its impact on the educational process. Through experimental methodology and the use of generative algorithms, it was possible to create a device adaptable to different pedagogical contexts, improving student-technology interaction. The results show that the use of the robot hand not only facilitates practical learning but also promotes the development of critical technological skills in students. This approach reinforces the integration of robotics in STEM education, preparing students for the technological challenges of the future.
