چکیده
Motivation is a key ingredient for learning: If the learner is motivated, you may hope for some success. If she/he is not, you may as well stop here. Educational robotics has proven to be an excellent tool for motivating students at ages from 8 to 80. This paper describes the use of competitions in order to sustain motivation over a longer period of time, which increases the chances that the learner acquires more in-depth knowledge about the subject area and develops a genuine interest in the field. In particular, we describe the rationale behind the different competitions in RoboCupJunior, which are designed exactly for this purpose and widely used throughout the world. Over 2000 teams of students are estimated to have participated in RoboCupJunior competitions worldwide in 2004, and numbers continue to increase.

A new sensor based homing integrated guidance and control law is presented to drive an underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) towards a fixed target, in the horizontal plane, using the information provided by an Ultra-Short Base Line (USBL) positioning system. Almost global asymptotic stability (AGAS) is achieved, both in the absence of external disturbances and in the presence of co...

The equivalence between autonomicity and the absence of free variables is a well-known result for linear, shift-invariant and complete behaviors over a field. However, this no longer holds for a behavior that does not satisfy one of those properties. In this paper we consider linear, shift-invariant and complete behaviors over the ring Zpr and study under which conditions such behaviors are aut...

This paper presents a short range wireless network platform based on Bluetooth technology and on a Round Robin scheduling algotithm. The main goal is to provide an application independent platform in order to support a distributed data acquisition and control system used to control a model of a greenhouse. This platform enables the advantages of wireless communications while assuring low weight...

In this paper we propose an approach to handle the cooperative localization of an object by a team of robots. Our technique uses propagation of beliefs to combine information provided by a team of robots so as to support a teammate in critical situations when it can not see an object, is lost or it is equipped with low quality sensors and needs cleaner data. Since teammates are a special case o...
