Developing microcontroller–based sorting and placing robots in automation practice subject of vocational high school

Abstract

This study was aimed at developing microcontroller–based sorting and placing robots as training kit of Otomation Practice subject in Vocational High School. The study was research and development involving six steps: need assesment, planning, developing, testing, repairing, and fi nishing. The subjects were
10 teachers of Industrial Electronic Study Program of Vocational High School.
Data were collected using an observation guide, and analyzed quantitatively using
descreptive statistic in the form of means. Findings of the study showed that the
microcontroller–based sorting and placing robots had been developed with good
feasibility degree, which was shown by expert validation average score of 2.93
