Collaborative Multi-Agent Platform with LIDAR Recognition and Web Integration for STEM Education

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education faces the challenge of incorporating advanced technologies that foster motivation, collaboration, and hands-on learning. This study proposes a portable system capable of transforming ordinary surfaces into interactive learning spaces through gamification and spatial perception. A prototype based on multi-agent architecture was developed on the PANGEA (Platform for automatic coNstruction of orGanizations of intElligent agents) platform, integrating LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors for gesture detection, an ultra-short-throw projector for visual interaction and a web platform to manage educational content, organize activities and evaluate student performance. The data from the sensors is processed in real time using ROS (Robot Operating System), generating precise virtual interactions on the projected surface, while the web allows you to configure physical and pedagogical parameters. Preliminary tests show that the system accurately detects gestures, translates them into digital interactions, and maintains low latency in different classroom environments, demonstrating robustness, modularity, and portability. The results suggest that the combination of multi-agent architectures, LIDAR sensors, and gamified platforms offers an effective approach to promote active learning in STEM, facilitate the adoption of advanced technologies in diverse educational settings, and improve student engagement and experience.
