METHODS OF USING VIRTUAL LABORATORIES IN ROBOTICS TRAINING

.  In the training of robotics, many robotic tools are used, and tasks are not completed due to the high cost of providing them in full force during the lesson. Building a robot requires students to devote a lot of time, as well as thoroughness and responsibility. Virtual laboratories, which have recently been involved in solving some problems in the educational process, can solve this problem, inspire students to complete tasks, stimulate motivation, interest in classes, and make laboratory work more complete due to the availability, ease of use and free of charge of Tinker Cad and several other platforms. In this regard, an urgent problem is to identify the possibilities of using virtual laboratories in training robotics. The purpose of the study is to identify the opportunities and needs that can be achieved through the use of virtual laboratories in teaching robotics. The objectives of the study are to analyze the effectiveness of teaching virtual laboratories from among online platforms, to demonstrate the methods of using robot assembly in the process of modeling and to identify the needs for the use of robotics in teaching among university teachers. The article examines the use of virtual laboratories in the construction of robots, it is found that the Tinker Cad virtual laboratory is effective in analyzing the effectiveness of teaching robotics from among online platforms. An example of the use of the Tinker CAD virtual laboratory in modeling in the assembly of robots is explained. This example report deals with the task of burning traffic light LEDs using Arduino in a Tincer Cad virtual laboratory. In addition, the results of a survey among teachers were presented in order to identify the needs and possibilities of using virtual laboratories in teaching robotics. According to the results of the survey, the effectiveness of the work performed in the Tincer Cad virtual laboratory was demonstrated by an example, and the dynamic and interactive nature of virtual laboratories contributes to the development of students ' creative abilities and task-solving skills. In conducting research, such common research methods as surveys, analysis, synthesis, and interpretation of data were used.
