Abstract

To obtain practical experience in intelligent robotics a lab course has been developed, in which students have to create a chess-playing robot. The system has to detect the move of a human opponent and has to take the appropriate action. Besides the integration of sensing and control of the robot arm the students gain experience in working in a team to realize a medium size project. In particular, the programming environment proved to be an important factor in an efficient course
