summary
Argues that putting Linux into educational robotics (not just microcontrollers) gives students real collaboration, tooling and debugging: examples include BeagleBone Blue using PRU microcontrollers and shared memory to generate motor/servo pulses while offering C libraries and command-line motor tests, Lego EV3 shipping Linux to open its platform, and projects like ROS, OpenCV and Dronecode. Notes a UCSD API already supports hundreds of robots in classrooms, and cites Momentum Machines as real-world automation replacing service jobs.
