Robotics laboratory for electrical engineering students

Abstract

The paper presents the approach we followed for creating a robotics laboratory at the Politehnica University of Bucharest, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and the results we obtained within 3 years of activity. The work carried on in this lab ranges from undergraduate students' application classes to master students' projects and from research projects to workshops for high-school students. The paper details existing robot platforms, typical activities that they are used for, as well as didactic approaches followed and the best results obtained by the students.
