Introduction
The robotics group has mainly educational goals.
The design and control of mobile robots allows to put across
the following topics to 2nd year physics students.
- Basics of hardware design
- Understanding the mode of action of a variety of
sensors
- Basics of multi-threaded programming
- Developement of semicomplex systems
- social behavior (while fighting for special Lego parts)
Currently we use four robots-controllers (2 MIT-Handyboards, 2 Lego Mindstorms RCX-Modules). Students work in groups of two or three and have to choose at the beginning
of the semester a specific task or project. Beside this project some more simple problems like
building a basic robot with bumpers, which does not get trapped in the corner of room, have to
be solved. Finally all students have to give a seminar talk on a specific topic connected with
the design of mobile robots.
