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.

Supporting undergraduate computer science education using educational robots
Proceedings of the 50th Annual Southeast Regional Conference, 2012There has been a sharp decline in undergraduate enrollment in computer science over the past decade. Reasons for the decline vary amongst computer science programs. However, upon observation it is noticeable that many students considering computer science as their undergraduate major decide to pursue other fields due to misconceptions about the ...

Quantitative analysis of the effects of robots on introductory Computer Science education
Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2002We 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 nonrobotics-based laboratory sessions. We also examine the effectiveness of robots in encouraging students to select computer science or computer engineering as a ...
