The paper describes the development and testing of an ultra-low-cost single-channel multimodal neurointerface capable of simultaneous registration of electroencephalographic (EEG), electromyographic (EMG) and electrocardiographic (ECG) signals using only widely available components. The prototype is based on Arduino Uno R3 and AD620 instrumentation amplifier. The total cost does not exceed 2,405 RUB – 30–100 times cheaper than commercial systems (Emotiv, OpenBCI, Muse). Despite extreme simplicity, the device reliably captures P-QRS-T complex of ECG, muscle contraction artifacts, and eye-blink artifacts in EEG. A simple neural network achieving 78 % accuracy on attention/neutral states enables real-time thought-based control of virtual objects. The developed prototype is ideal for educational purposes, scientific experiments and as a basis for assistive technologies for people with severe motor disabilities.

The educational kit on robotics constitutes a complex kit of instruments and materials created especially for school students. Its goal is not to enter schoolchildren in robotics, but also to develop their skills in programming, designing and modeling. This kit provides students an ability to immerse in interesting and practical tasks that will help them learn the basics of robotics and programming. It includes various components, such as microcontrollers, sensors, motors and also special programming environments and materials for modeling. This kit helps teachers to integrate robotics in the educational process and to create interactive lessons which will stimulate students’ interests in science and technologies.
