Abstract

In this paper we present a proposal for the practical teaching robotics in a Degree in Computer Science. In order to make the course more attractive and stimulate the interest by students complex mathematical descriptions had been avoided. Instead, it focuses in other aspects more related to those degree students such as mobile robotics. To allow students to have access to real robot to practice Roomba robot has been chosen.

Teaching methodology is based on project development by students after viewing of a set of videos of the robot performing actions. Then students must obtain a program where the robot behaves in the same way. So, they first have to analyze how the robot gets the behavior to implementing it later. It also presents the set of projects to be undertaken by students.
