Abstract

This is a description of our latest effort to find new education forms. We have a long experience with running large projects (Daniels and Asplund, 1999), but wanted to expand the concept into an interdisciplinary setting. By combing three different student groups we have been able to formulate a project aiming at building robots from scratch that will participate in the robot soccer championships. This complex project resembles a realistic industry development that covers the, for us, usual computer science aspect, as well as interfacing with electronic hardware and mechanical construction
