Course Description
This intensive practical course revolves around technical problem solving, engineering and programming using Lego Mindstorms sets. Students design, build, and program autonomous robotic systems to perform tasks such as measuring the gravitational constant or constructing a time piece. Students encounter and acquire an understanding of all aspects of such an architectural challenge, including research, design, hardware construction and software implementation. After some carefully selected introductory problems, teams of two students move on to design and build their own constructions. In order to facilitate creative thinking and free exploration, teams choose their projects freely, without constraints, under advisement. Teams work continuously throughout the duration of the course, with scheduling and planning at their own discretion, while receiving guidance and help from the instructors during the timetabled sessions. The course culminates in a series of presentations, where teams have a chance to demonstrate the fruits of their newly acquired skills and share their experiences.
