Praktikum "Mobile Roboter" mit Simulation und Telerobotik-Zugang (TELEROBOTS) [In German]
Robotics is one of the best ways to connect students with motivation to learn technology. The project deals with a kind of edutainment robotics system whose objective is to offer a chance to students of different levels to acquire knowledge about robotics. At the same time, this learning process will involve the students, as they can design and build their own mobile robot. Our efforts will concentrate on developing our own cheap educational robotic system in order to meet the requirements of flexibility, functionality, extensibility, easy handling, and low cost.
In our implementation, the "Mobile Robot" system for the course consists of the mechanical parts, the hardware and the software. The mechanical parts are based on the LEGO bricks and our own designed input and output bricks as the platform of the project. New designed hardware includes 4 driving DC motors and 9 sensor channels. Students can program using a graphical interface, simple C and Java language according to their knowledge. This new system is more flexible and suitable for students to understand all aspects of robotics technology.

This project is based on the cooperation between TAMS group of the Department of Informatics in University of Hamburg (UHH) and Robotics Institute in Beihang University (BUAA). The course will be used at the computer science department of University of Hamburg and at the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering department of Beihang University in parallel. It is also suitable for professional schools or for further education. Based on their own ideas students can build different mobile robotic prototypes. Using the software environments, they can program the robots and carry out simulations offline. Then they can download soft codes to the controller and test on-site. During this process, they have to deal with the sensor information and realize the various movement functions by controlling the motors. They will learn the sensorial technology and motor-control methods. At the same time, students can overview the process using a web-camera and can interrupt in case of malfunctions. The most important aspect is that students will get a thorough knowledge of the principles of mobile robotics.
