Education of Mobile Robot Architecture

It is a good way to bring abstract computer science concepts in life through robotics. Combining mobile robotics and computer science (hardware and software) in the classroom makes computer science tangible for students. The mobile robot consists of three main parts: mechanics (motion), hardware (image acquisition, processing and control units) and software (image processing, motion control and decision making). Every robot needs sensors and actuators of some type to interact with the world around it. This article presents a general overview of education of mobile robot hardware architecture and software. A well supplied microcontroller laboratory is needed for mobile robot development. The paper examines the software and hardware used for microcontroller/robotics laboratory
