Amusing Lego Choreographies for Learning Case-based Reasoning

Abstract

Case-based reasoning is a methodology to develop knowledge-based systems, a key concept in artificial intelligence courses that are included in most engineering degrees (electric, electronic, systems and computer science). In this paper we propose the use of Lego robots in labs for case-based reasoning learning. On the one hand, the combination of robotics and artificial intelligence provides different approaches to our learning goal, case-based reasoning, depending on the engineers’ background. Through the use of amusement, students learn the target concept in an application domain that poses several challenges to case-based reasoning itself.
