Teaching through Tele-Autonomous Methods.

Tele-autonomous Control Involving Contacts

New Concepts in Tele-Autonomous Systems

We have taken up the challenge of integrating telemanipulation technology and autonomous system technology. We are seeking methods for integration at a fundamental rather than an ad-hoc level. We believe that success in this effort can open up new space and defense applications now beyond reach of either technology alone. In our presentation at this symposium, we introduce a series of concepts ...

Evaluation of teaching through lecture with new methods of student-centered teaching in medical students

Background: Research about teaching methods and students' education is an important subject which can improve the quality of education. This study was performed to compare three educational methods: teaching through lecture, presentation by small group of students, student's search and study of topics before the class. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 42 students' of 5th ...

Roomba Pac-Man: Teaching Autonomous Robotics through Embodied Gaming

We present an approach to teaching autonomous robotics to upper-level undergraduates through the medium of embodied games. As part of a developing course at Brown University, we have created the Roomba Pac-Man task to introduce students to different approaches to autonomous robot control in the context of a specific task. Roomba Pac-Man has been developed using commodity hardware from which stu...

International Tele-Teaching — A Progress Report

In this paper we report on a successful tele-teaching project between the Computer Science Department of the Technische Universität Dresden (Germany) and of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal).
