Abstract
The aim of the research is to demonstrate a design of a low cost mobile robotics experiment using camera and sonar sensors. The experiment is designed to be used as one of laboratory sessions for a new course, Fundamentals of Autonomous Robots, which was recently developed and taught in the University of Louisville. This new hands-on course aims to foster students’ interests from different fields to autonomous mobile robotics and improve the education in this area. The proposed experimental setup consists of a low cost LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Invention System kit, Handy Board microcontroller board, CMU camera and SRF04 sonar sensor. The other outcome of this research is a conference paper which has been submitted to the 2006 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 06) in the special student education category.
