Abstract

The invention is a modular educational set that combines physical and digital interaction to develop children's mathematical and logical skills. The key feature of the invention is its ability to dynamically adjust the magnetic coupling resistance and haptic feedback intensity between modules in real time via a control unit that analyzes the user's problem-solving performance (speed and error frequency). When the correct mathematical combination is achieved, the system triggers an electromechanical locking mechanism, releasing a physical reward element. The modules enable wear-free data and energy transfer thanks to their inductive coupling interface. The outer casing features a hybrid material structure composed of an elastomeric matrix and a biopolymer blend, optimizing the transmission of haptic vibrations.
