Abstract
This paper reports the organization of a core seminar (one-semester course) on robotics for international undergraduate students enrolled to Mechanical and Aeronautics Departments of Kyushu University within G30/IUPE Program. To facilitate the understanding of fundamental concepts and control principles of organization of complex movements, three toy robots were selected for experimental setups. The students were requested to assemble and explore the internal parts of the hardware. They also learnt and established simple mathematical models for the construction of robot's trajectories and verified them under simulation and experiments. Finally, to learn the skills of technical communication, which was also one of the goals of the course, the students reported the results achieved and shared their experience over a public presentation.
