DESIGN OF AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM ON A ROBOT TEACHING PLATFORM

This paper reports a teaching experience. At the end of the academic year, motivated students in electrical engineering and industrial data processing course take part in a national friendly robotic contest. The contestants mainly have to design and program their own autonomous mobile robot for lane tracking. Here, a group of French and Finnish students performed tools for a forthcoming participation. One goal of this project was to make students more sensitive to embedded systems and their real-time applications to classical and fuzzy controllers techniques. Their supervisors applied a known management method both for teamwork and student's assessment.
