LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Week for Mechatronics Freshmen
Track/Summit: Academic Forum
Session ID#: TS2427
Abstract: Since 2010, the five-year diploma program in mechatronics engineering at Dresden University of Technology has required students, for one week of the first semester, to use LabVIEW and the LEGO MINDSTORMS system to build and program robots. In doing so, the students complete tasks covering different aspects of mechatronics engineering such as building vehicles and reliable structures, implementing advanced data-processing algorithms, and establishing smooth motion control of the robot. At this session, explore the development of and experiences with this innovative teaching concept.
