Development of teaching materials for engineering education using biped robots

Abstract

For an engineering education of 3rd undergraduate students in intelligent systems course, educational materials of a reinforcement learning with biped robot experiment were developed. Students cooperate with members in a group to make a robot walk effectively. Last year a trial to activate their communication in the experiment was reported. In this paper the teaching materials are explained from viewpoints of engineering education and motivation and then discussed about educational effects and issues on an educational practice.
