Technical Framework for Robot Platforms in Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
Robotics is an interdisciplinary area involving many disciplines taught at higher education institutions. Therefore, robots offer an excellent tool for innovative teaching of a number of different engineering subjects. To apply robots in such a variety of subjects and different scenarios, the employed platforms have to meet a number of technical as well as educational requirements such as flexibility, modularity, scalability and ease of use. This paper describes our new educational robotics framework and how we meet the technical challenges posed in such a scenario. Modular components form a robotics kit to build flexible platforms tailored to teaching and research.
