The article analyzes the current requirements for the design process of robotic systems. The article discusses the application of the principle of modularity in the design of educational robotic systems based on the Arduino Uno platform. The use of this principle provides an almost unlimited set of capabilities for solving robotic problems. The authors present the main advantages of developing robotic systems using the principle of modularity. The process of implementing the principle is shown on the example of projects: creating a weather station and a prototype of a search robot. The authors provide options for the use of weather stations for environmental monitoring. A brief review of existing autonomous weather stations has been carried out. The following is the process of modeling, assembling and tuning the copter. Particular attention is paid to the choice of components and their compatibility. In the work on the weather station, attention is paid to changing the configuration and writing a control program. When creating a prototype of a search robot, special attention is paid to setting up complex modules and component compatibility. The article describes in detail the process of connecting the camera to the search robot, presents the received image of the room and examples of object recognition in the image, and considers analogues of the weather station and the search robot. The strengths and weaknesses of the platform for creating complex robotic systems have been identified. At the end of the article presents conclusions about the use of the principle of modularity in practice.
