Motivation and Training Program on Robotics Education

Abstract

Robotics is a compelling topic for students of all ages, and it is an excellent tool for teaching science and engineering. The paper has considered what makes robotics motivating to students, and it has shown how context, need, and the desire to 'make it work' draw them to that learning so naturally that they hardly notice the intellectual strides they are making. The potential of robotics to educate must best be realized through more formal education. Based on analysis of current courses, combining with the knowledge and experience acquired from real operation, a robotic training program is put forward.
