IFAC Symposium on Advances in Control Education (ACE), 2006, Madrid (Spain) ; In the last years applied robotics is being incorporated to the undergraduate curriculum of electrical and mechanical engineering and computer science. Design courses on robotics usually utilize a standard commercial platform, like legos or other educational kits, and the students are given a common task to solve using the kit. However, one of the most important challenges professional engineers must deal with is not only to propose a novel solution for a given problem, but also to identify opportunity areas where they can use their knowledge to develop a new product. Most robotics courses curriculum do not emphasize this process. In this paper we describe a robots design course based on the didactic technique POL (Project Oriented Learning) where the students identify an opportunity area for a robot project application, propose a design, and build a working prototype. The work is done on teams using collaborative learning. Robot design classes under this schema facilitate the students integration of their knowledge in several areas, giving as a product original and creative robotic applications. ; Peer Reviewed
