A CONTEST-ORIENTED PROJECT FOR LEARNING

INTELLIGENT MOBILE ROBOTS

ABSTRACTS:

A contest-oriented project for undergraduate students to learn implementation skills

and theories related to intelligent mobile robots is presented in this paper. The project, related

to Micro mouse, Robotrace (Robotrace is the title of Taiwanese and Japanese robot races),

and line-maze contests was developed by the embedded control system research group of the

Department of Electronic Engineering, Lunghwa University of Science and Technology,

Taiwan. It targets both those students who have to earn credits for a one-year special topics

course and those who are just interested in making robots, and it is designed to motivate them

to learn digital motion control, path planning, attitude correction, curvature detection and

maze-solving algorithms. The students begin by getting acquainted with the development

environment of microcontrollers, the characteristics of different sensors, and servomotor

control techniques. Having learned these basic skills, they acquire further specific advanced

skills and proceed to design their own mobile robots to compete in contests. The special

topics course students' robots must pass examination by five teachers. Blogs and a wiki Web

site for recording students' progress and experiences enhance the project's learning outcomes.

Although not every student wins a prize in the contests, student feedback still shows that the

contest-oriented project did motivate them to acquire the skills necessary to build and operate

intelligent mobile robots.
