Hands-on intelligent mobile robot laboratory with support from the industry

摘要

The widespread use of robots in many areas makes the fundamental understanding of them a necessity for many electronic system design engineers. Therefore, to effectively speed up the learning process, the applications of learning-by-doing hands-on laboratory to help students get acquainted with the design and implementation of robots is inevitable. Lunghwa University has teamed up with local microcontroller manufacturers to redesign course contents, to host free workshops supported by the Ministry of Education, and to hold national contests for intelligent mobile robots. The devised low cost educational robot kits and multimedia lecture notes not only reinforce the hands-on laboratory exercises, but also help motivate students to learn actively the intelligent mobile robots.
