Control Engineering Education with Help of Model-Based Program Tools for Robotic Construction Sets.

This report presents the methodology of using various programming tools for robotic construction sets at various stages of studying control theory. The analysis of programming tools of robotic construction sets like LEGO ® Mindstorms is given. The benefits of Model-Based case-tools for programming robotic sets, which allow more complicated problems to be set and solved, are shown. Experience of application of a technique at Mathematics & Mechanics Faculty of St. Petersburg State University is considered.
