Prototyping for the development of practical skills of students in automation and robotics

Prototyping tools for the project method of practical student education have been researched. A comparative analysis of prototyping tools has been carried out. The paper considers and analyzes student projects implemented using the Arduino platform. An analysis of the results of the implementation of these projects was carried out. The choice of the Arduino platform for the implementation of projects in order to develop the practical skills of students in the fields of automation and robotics is substantiated. Comparison with analogues is given. Examples of possible tasks for the student's practical skills development of Arduino platform are suggested. These tasks provide for the trial operation possibility of the developed prototypes and their further modernization. When the student uses the results of his own project, further increases the motivation and effectiveness of student learning.
