It is frequently claimed that the students must have an active role in building and transforming their own knowledge, and the teacher's labor is to provide the students the necessary tools in order to reach specific learning objectives, included in a course program. This paper presents an aerial robotic system as a toolkit, and proposes a series of activities focused on the learning in automation and robotics. These proposed activities have been designed based upon the project-based learning methodology, and they facilitate the achievement of the learning objectives presented by Spanish automation committee(CEA) in conjunction with The International Society of Automation (ISA) to satisfy the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) standard. The toolkit and the activities are oriented to impulse

“…Therefore, it is quite essential for students to quickly grasp the ideas of how wheel speeds v R , and v L are related to the linear (v C ) and angular (ω C ) velocities, and how digital feedback controllers are used to control the moving trajectory of the mobile robot. The relationship could be easily found in [11] and listed in the following equations:…”

The increasing popularity of robots in people's daily life has made those implementation skills a necessity for electrical and electronic engineering students, especially for those who are in the technology oriented universities in Taiwan. To help these students quickly learn and acquire the knowledge with persistent interest, the contest oriented project for micromouse and its corresponding MATLAB/SIMULINK behavior simulations are used in this paper. The main topics for the simulations include 1) diagonal maze-solving and path planning algorithms, and 2) the dynamics and digital motion control techniques of differential drive mobile robots. It is seen that the graphical user interface development environment (GUIDE) and behavior model simulations not only help ease the design and visualization of maze-solving and path planning algorithms, but also help fine tune the control parameters of digital motion feedback controllers.

“…Huang et al create the meaning environment to make the students learn the materials everywhere and then improve the learning outcome for students [7]. The study explores the contest-based approach, which encourages the students to design their own wheeled robots, join the contest and keep on improving their robots' hardware circuits and the programming codes, to enhance the practical skills for the students in University of Science and Technology [8].…”

Students, which do not have enough course time to practice their hardware and programming skills in the physical class, usually cannot implement the system by using the traditional teaching method. The long-hour course, which contains not only three hours but also more practical time for students, is applied to the electronic course. To support the more exercises for the practical time in physical class, the concept of the dual learning materials, which extend the teaching materials to two different but high-related educational platforms, is provided to the long-hour course. The contributions of this study are as follows. First, the long-hour learning approach is explored to the students of University of Science and Technology. Second, the dual learning materials, including the software programming and the hardware educational platforms, the multiple-choice questions [12] and the source codes, are developed and utilized in the physical class. Third, each group should present their final results, including the finished programming codes, the slides and a video. Finally, the 16 groups, which contain 2 to 4 students, implement their projects and prepare the slides to present in the physical class.
