Practical Education Curriculum for Autonomous Mobile Robot (Project Learning Program for School Based on Subsumption Architecture)

There is no robot around us in our society at the current stage if we define a robot as an autonomous machine working in the arena of offices, homes, and disaster sites, etc. outside the factories. Mechatronics, dynamics and robotics involving humans are the world of strong nonlinearity. This paper investigated the approach to the emergence of the objective behavior of an autonomous mobile robot by learning with Subsumption Architecture (SA) for breaking through the problems of the conventional robotics with SMPA (SenseModelPlanAct) framework in the real world. It showed the way of learning in the real world with SA and developed into practical education curriculum as an introduction to Robotics having an intellectual and emotional appeal.
