Robotiquethumb|upright=1.5|Nao, un robot humanoïde. thumb|upright=1.5|Des robots industriels au travail dans une usine. La robotique est l'ensemble des techniques permettant la conception et la réalisation de machines automatiques ou de robots. L'ATILF donne la définition suivante du robot : « il effectue, grâce à un système de commande automatique à base de microprocesseur, une tâche précise pour laquelle il a été conçu dans le domaine industriel, scientifique, militaire ou domestique ».
Apprentissage par problèmesDans l'apprentissage par problèmes (APP), ou apprentissage par résolution de problèmes, les apprenants, regroupés par équipes, travaillent ensemble à résoudre un problème généralement proposé par l'enseignant, problème pour lequel ils n'ont reçu aucune formation particulière, de façon à faire des apprentissages de contenu et de savoir-faire, à découvrir des notions nouvelles de façon active (il s’instruit lui-même) en y étant poussé par les nécessités du problème soumis.
Pédagogie de projetLa pédagogie de projet est une pratique de pédagogie active qui permet de générer des apprentissages à travers la réalisation d'une production concrète. Le projet peut être individuel (comme un exposé ou une maquette) ou collectif (l'organisation d'une fête, d'un voyage, d'un spectacle). Il est semblable à une En effet, lors de la démarche de projet, l’élève est placé en situation de résolution de problèmes, participant de fait au processus d’apprentissage.
Inquiry-based learningInquiry-based learning (also spelled as enquiry-based learning in British English) is a form of active learning that starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios. It contrasts with traditional education, which generally relies on the teacher presenting facts and their knowledge about the subject. Inquiry-based learning is often assisted by a facilitator rather than a lecturer. Inquirers will identify and research issues and questions to develop knowledge or solutions.
Open sourceOpen source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product. The open-source model is a decentralized software development model that encourages open collaboration. A main principle of open-source software development is peer production, with products such as source code, blueprints, and documentation freely available to the public.
Open-source softwareOpen-source software (OSS) is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose. Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative, public manner. Open-source software is a prominent example of open collaboration, meaning any capable user is able to participate online in development, making the number of possible contributors indefinite.
Robotique molleLa robotique molle () est un domaine de la robotique. Ce domaine traite des « robots mous » incluant certains types de drones, et construits en matériaux ou structures souples, élastiques ou déformables tels que le silicone, le plastique, le caoutchouc et autres polymères, les tissus, etc., ou des pièces mécaniques déformables utilisées en robotique, par exemple les ressorts, les élastiques ou les absorbeurs de chocs ou de vibrations.
Free/Libre Open Source Softwarevignette|320x320px|Capture d'écran d'un bureau avec de multiples logiciels open-source en cours d'exécution: VLC, Firefox, LibreOffice Writer, GIMP, etc. Free and open-source software (F/OSS, FOSS) ou free/libre/open-source software (FLOSS) sont des expressions inclusives, rassemblant à la fois les logiciels libres et les logiciels à code source ouvert, qui malgré des cultures et des philosophies divergentes ont des modèles de développement logiciel similaires.
Open-source-software movementThe open-source-software movement is a movement that supports the use of open-source licenses for some or all software, as part of the broader notion of open collaboration. The open-source movement was started to spread the concept/idea of open-source software. Programmers who support the open-source-movement philosophy contribute to the open-source community by voluntarily writing and exchanging programming code for software development.
Open-source software developmentOpen-source software development (OSSD) is the process by which open-source software, or similar software whose source code is publicly available, is developed by an open-source software project. These are software products available with its source code under an open-source license to study, change, and improve its design. Examples of some popular open-source software products are Mozilla Firefox, Google Chromium, Android, LibreOffice and the VLC media player. In 1997, Eric S. Raymond wrote The Cathedral and the Bazaar.
Open-source licenseOpen-source licenses facilitate free and open-source software (FOSS) development. Intellectual property (IP) laws restrict the modification and sharing of creative works. Free and open-source software licenses use these existing legal structures for the inverse purpose of granting freedoms that promote sharing and collaboration. They grant the recipient the rights to use the software, examine the source code, modify it, and distribute the modifications. These licenses target computer software where source code can be necessary to create modifications.
Matériel librevignette|Zynthian, un projet de synthétiseur musical libre Le matériel libre, matériel ouvert ou matériel open source désigne, par analogie avec le logiciel libre et le logiciel open source, les technologies des matériels et produits physiques développés selon les principes des ressources libres de droits ou sous licence libre. .

Evolutionary roboticsEvolutionary robotics is an embodied approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in which robots are automatically designed using Darwinian principles of natural selection. The design of a robot, or a subsystem of a robot such as a neural controller, is optimized against a behavioral goal (e.g. run as fast as possible). Usually, designs are evaluated in simulations as fabricating thousands or millions of designs and testing them in the real world is prohibitively expensive in terms of time, money, and safety.
Robotique en essaimLa robotique en essaim est une branche de la robotique appliquant les méthodes d'intelligence distribuée aux systèmes à plusieurs robots. Il s'agit généralement d'utiliser des robots simples, voire simplistes, et peu coûteux, d'un intérêt individuel assez limité, mais qui ensemble (par exemple via des capacités d'autoassemblage ou d'auto-organisation) forment un système complexe et robuste. La robotique en essaim cherche à étudier la conception et le comportement des robots.
Phenomenon-based learningPhenomenon-based learning (PhBL, PhenoBL or PBL) is a multidisciplinary, constructivist form of learning or pedagogy where students study a topic or concept in a holistic approach instead of in a subject-based approach. PhBL includes both topical learning (also known as topic-based learning or instruction), where the phenomenon studied is a specific topic, event, or fact, and thematic learning (also known as theme-based learning or instruction), where the phenomenon studied is a concept or idea.
Developmental roboticsDevelopmental robotics (DevRob), sometimes called epigenetic robotics, is a scientific field which aims at studying the developmental mechanisms, architectures and constraints that allow lifelong and open-ended learning of new skills and new knowledge in embodied machines. As in human children, learning is expected to be cumulative and of progressively increasing complexity, and to result from self-exploration of the world in combination with social interaction.
Design-based learningDesign-based learning (DBL), also known as design-based instruction, is an inquiry-based form of learning, or pedagogy, that is based on integration of design thinking and the design process into the classroom at the K-12 and post-secondary levels. Design-based learning environments can be found across many disciplines, including those traditionally associated with design (e.g. art, architecture, engineering, interior design, graphic design), as well as others not normally considered to be design-related (science, technology, business, humanities).
Personalized learningPersonalized learning, individualized instruction, personal learning environment and direct instruction all refer to efforts to tailor education to meet the different needs of students. The use of the term "personalized learning" dates back to at least the early 1960s, but there is no widespread agreement on the definition and components of a personal learning environment. Even enthusiasts for the concept admit that personal learning is an evolving term and doesn't have any widely accepted definition.

Biologie de l'évolutionEvolutionary biology is the subfield of biology that studies the evolutionary processes (natural selection, common descent, speciation) that produced the diversity of life on Earth. It is also defined as the study of the history of life forms on Earth. Evolution holds that all species are related and gradually change over generations. In a population, the genetic variations affect the phenotypes (physical characteristics) of an organism. These changes in the phenotypes will be an advantage to some organisms, which will then be passed onto their offspring.
