Abstract :
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate a design of a low cost mobile robotics experiment using camera and sonar sensors. The experiment is designed to be used as one of laboratory sessions of a course on Fundamentals of Autonomous Robots. This hands-on course aims to foster students´ interests from different fields to autonomous mobile robotics and improve the education in this area. The proposed experiment setup consists of a low cost LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Invention System kit, Handy Board microcontroller board, CMU camera and SRF04 sonar sensor.
