Exploring computer science through autonomous robotics
2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference, 2009Declining student populations in the Computer Science field coupled with a growing demand creates the need for higher attraction rates. We examine new techniques for exposing high school students to the Computer Science field through the use of a Java-based autonomous robotics curriculum.

Robots and agents in basic computer science curricula
Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2002. RoMoCo '02., 2003The present day changes in applications of computers are fundamental and modify our global understanding of computers and computing. The coming change of the basic computational paradigm must be reflected in teaching computer science and engineering. This contribution sketches a proposal of how to achieve this on the basis of multi-agent systems and ...

A learning approach based on robotics in Computer Science and Computer Engineering
IEEE EDUCON 2010 Conference, 2010It is well known that the number of students that arrives to engineering studies decreases every year, due to the difficulty that these studies present, when compared to other studies, in a society that tends to be more social oriented than in the past. In order to increase the interest of the students this paper presents a Project Based Learning (PBL)

On the Upgrading of a Personal Robot for Use in a Computing Science Robotics Laboratory
International Journal of Electrical Engineering & Education, 1989The upgrading of a personal robot, Hero-1, for use in a computing science robotics laboratory is described. Typical experiments which utilise Hero-1 are presented, from which it is concluded that such personal robots can indeed be used successfully in the teaching of robotics fundamentals.

Measuring the effectiveness of robots in teaching computer science
ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 2003We report the results of a year-long experiment in the use of robots to teach computer science. Our data set compares results from over 800 students on identical tests from both robotics and non-robotics based laboratory sessions. We also examine the effectiveness of robots in encouraging students to select computer science or computer engineering as a

On the use of robots in a PBL in the first year of computer science / computer engineering studies
Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON), 2012European universities are involved in a structural change in their careers in order to promote students exchange between countries. Taking advantage of this situation, Spanish University Council also is promoting changes in teaching methodologies.

Designing the Finch: Creating a Robot Aligned to Computer Science Concepts
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2010We present a new robot platform, the Finch, that was designed to align with the learning goals and concepts taught in introductory computer science courses. The Finch was developed in the context of the CSbots program, the goal of which is to improve retention and learning in computer science courses through the use of robots and other physically ...
