Learning while Teaching Robotics

چکیده
This paper outlines a mentoring experience in which undergraduate students majoring in Computer Science spent their summer teaching robotics to high school students in Harlem. We describe two programs in which we worked with undergraduates to develop and implement robotics curriculum. Then we report on a valuable and often overlooked piece of the project — the learning experience of the undergraduate mentors.

Mixed-Reality Robotics – A Coherent Teaching Framework
Robotics evolved as a central issue in teaching for scientific and engineering disciplines. Robotics inherently encompasses a spectrum of sciences and technologies and qualification levels. However, most current teaching approaches, related to robotics, concentrate on individual aspects or small student groups. In this paper we present the mixed-reality robotics educational approach. With our m...
متن کاملInteractive evolutionary robotics from different viewpoints of observation
In this paper, we describe influence of viewpoints of observation in an interactive evolutionary robotics system. We have been proposed a behavior learning system ICS (Interactive Classifier System) using interactive evolutionary computation. In this system, a mobile robot is able to quickly learn rules by direct teaching of a human operator. ICS is a novel evolutionary robotics approach using ...
متن کاملRobotics in Education & Education in Robotics: Shifting Focus from Technology to Pedagogy
In this work we highlight the role of constructivist pedagogy and consequent educational methodologies either while using robotics in school education (Robotics in Education) or while training teachers to use robotics for teaching purposes (Education in Robotics). In this framework, constructivist methodologies for integrating robotics in school physics and informatics education and in professi...
متن کاملIn Proceedings of the Conference on Integration of Elementary Functions into Complex Behavior
One of the key ideas in both robotics and neuroscience is that complex behaviour can arise from the interaction of many cooperating simple agents or modules. In this paper we suggest that this idea can be extended; just as combining simple agents may be important for complex behaviour, combining tasks is important for learning the parts themselves. In particular we show that combining classiica...
متن کاملTeaching Robots to Coordinate their Behaviours
Behaviour co-ordination is one of the major problems in behaviour-based robotics. This paper presents a teaching method for mobile robots to learn the behaviour coordination. In this method, the sensory information is abstracted into a limited number of feature states that correspond to physical events in the interactive process between a robot and its environment. The continuous motor actions ...
