Making Autonomous Robots for the sake of Development of Creativity

Abstract

In order to develop the creativity of college students, a curriculum of making autonomous robots has been carried out. We have given an integrated curriculum of practical exercises from the first year to fourth year for students to obtain an engineering ability of making robots. A different theme of robots for students is given and a robot contest held on every year. They must make their robots using their original idea on their schedule and make them work properly in the con-test. Furthermore, they can obtain an ability to help successfully elementary school children enjoy making small robots.
