Robotics gives chance to experiment concepts of a broad range of disciplines, principally those from Engineering courses and Computer Science. However, there are not many kits that enables the use of robotics in classroom. This article describes the methodologies to implement tools which serves as test beds for the use of robotics to teach Computer Science and Engineering. Therefore, it proposes the development of a flexible, low cost hardware to integrate sensors and control actuators commonly found on mobile robots, the development of a mobile robot device whose sensors and actuators allows the experimentation of different concepts, and an environment for the implementation of control algorithms through a computer network. This paper describes each one of these tools and discusses the implementation issues and future works. © 2010 IEEE.302-307engComputer scienceEngineeringRoboticsTeachingComputer science and engineeringsControl actuatorsControl algorithmsEngineering courseLow cost hardwareMobile robot systemsSensors and actuatorsActuatorsAlgorithmsAutomobile electronic equipmentAutomobile parts and equipmentComputer hardwareEquipment testingExperimentsMechanicsMobile robotsSensorsTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/CERMA.2010.41Acesso aberto2-s2.0-79951655962783898344880958671141742037052510000-0003-0314-8660
