Abstract

Robotics offers an excellent platform for education on issues related to control, software engineering, sensory fusion, planning and human-robot interaction. Today there is already a wide variety of educational programmes and courses related to robotics in general. The range of methods used in teaching of robotics and the integration into curricula such as ME, CS, EE ... is quite varied. At the same time excellent teaching material, platforms for teaching and education material is becoming available. The aim of this workshop is to discuss the various approaches to teaching of robotics, to survey platforms for basic and advanced education of robotics and investigate the potential for setup of a repository on sharing of teaching material across the field.

Primary and secondary audience
Robotics educators at universities through out the community.
