小型自律移動ロボット開発教育の深化

抄録

Robotics education plays a crucial role in fostering problem-solving and independent thinking skills. As technological advancements continue to reshape society, the development of science and technology innovation professionals has become a key priority. Since its inception, the Department of Electronic Control Engineering at National Institite of Technology, Numazu College has implemented a project-based learning (PBL) curriculum focusing on the development of small autonomous mobile robots, known as MIRS (Micro Intelligent Robot System). This program emphasizes not only hands-on manufacturing but also system development processes and real-world implementation experiments. To address challenges in system design, the fifth generation of MIRS education introduced agile methodologies, Proof of Concept (PoC), and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approaches. The curriculum was restructured to include standard model development, technology exploration, system proposal and design, field implementation, and video documentation. This paper reports on the first-year implementation of the fifth-generation MIRS program, comparing it with previous iterations and discussing future prospects.
