On Experiences with a Seminar for Teaching Robotics

The growing amount of new, additional topics to be handled without extention of the time students stay at the university and without an extension of the number of available lecturers poses a difficult problem for the teaching body. The paper presents experiences gained with a seminar as a possible solution in the area of robotics. After a discussion of the general scheme of education for electrical engineering at the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt, the structure of the seminar and experiences gained with it are described. The paper concludes with some remarks on another solution chosen with respect to introduce artificial intelligence approaches to control engineers.
