Abstract

This paper reports on latest developments in our MoRob (Modular Educational Robotic Toolbox) project, which aims to provide solutions for a universal mobile robot platform to be used in a variety of engineering and science education scenarios in higher education. To provide a complete framework for educational robotics, we not only supply hardware and software components, but also look at concepts to provide flexible teaching materials, toolboxes and documentation in a common learning platform. Furthermore, evaluation in problem-based robotics courses examines the efficiency of robotics systems and curricula
