Turtlebot 3 as a Robotics Education Platform (original) (raw)

Robotics in Education, 2019

Abstract

Teaching robotics to engineering students can be a challenging endeavor. In order to provide hands-on experiences, physical robot platforms are required. Previously, obtaining these platforms could be expensive, and required a lot of technical expertise from teaching staff. However, more recent models address these issues, therefore providing more opportunities for hands-on sessions. In this paper, we describe how we used the Turtlebot 3 mobile robot in master courses at KU Leuven. We provide an overview of the main functionalities, and suggest a number of improvements to further lower the learning curve for students. Additionally, we elaborate on the curriculum and learning outcomes of two courses that utilized Turtlebots in practically oriented sessions.
