Abstract :
This paper presents an innovative cognitive robotics laboratory course based on the latest developments in mobile robotics, communication networks, software agents, and educational technologies. The hybrid educational strategy combines simulation and experiments on real robots, as well as in-class experiments and remote control over the Internet, while the students are assisted by human tutors and artificial software agents. Evaluation data demonstrate the validity and attractiveness of this approach.
