Autonomous mobile robot exploration can be considered a representative task where multiple problems need to be addressed and solutions integrated into a software framework that exhibits desired autonomous behavior of the robot. The problem includes online decision-making in selecting new navigational waypoints towards which the robot is autonomously navigated to explore not yet covered part of the environment. A mobile robot’s navigation consists of localization, mapping, planning, and execution of the plan by following the path toward the waypoint. For these very reasons, we decided to include mobile robot exploration as one of the tasks in our Artificial Intelligence in Robotics course opened at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague. In this paper, we present our experience running the course, where the students start with relatively small isolated tasks that are then integrated into a full exploration framework. We share the students’ feedback on our initial approach for the task that becomes a mandatory part of the course evaluation and grading.
