- Open hardware and software robotics competition for additional engagement in ECE students - the Robot@Factory lite case studyPublication . Pinto, Vítor H.; Sousa, Armando; Lima, José; Gonçalves, José; Costa, Paulo Gomes daThroughout this paper, a competition created to enable an inter-connection between the academic and industrial paradigms is presented, using Open Hardware and Software. This competition is called Robot at Factory Lite and serves as a case study as an additional enrollment for students to apply knowledge in the fields of programming, perception, motion planning, task planning, autonomous robotic, among others.
- Proposal of a low cost educational mobile robot experiment: an approach based on hardware and simulationPublication . Gonçalves, José; Silva, Manuel F.; Costa, Paulo Gomes da; Sousa, ArmandoIn this paper it is presented an educational mobile robotics experiment based on a low cost mobile robot prototype and its simulation. The chosen educational robot challenge is a classical introductory experiment, that consists in following a line with a mobile robot based on the differential kinematics. The presented experiment has as goal to introduce students to the challenges of mobile robotics, initially programming a simulated robot, building a real robot and finally testing the developed code in a real robot. The robot was simulated using SimTwo, which is a realistic simulation software that can support several types of robots. Having as base the proposed challenge, a mobile robot competition was conducted as a part of the evaluation of the curricular unit of ``Systems Based on Micro-Controllers'' of the ``Electrotechnical and Computer Engineering'' course of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto.
