International
Conference on Engineering Education and Research
iCEER-2004
CALL FOR PAPERS
REQUIREMENTS FOR ROBOTS
IN EDUCATION AND RESEARCH
The popularity of robots
in educational scenarios is constantly rising. They are valuable tools which
can be used in many different disciplines as demonstrators, in lab classes and
as platforms for PhD research. Recently, the topic of educational robotics has
been introduced at conferences and examples and applications have been
reported. To
provide suitable platforms for teaching and research, roboticists need to know
the requirements of educators for their specific needs. At universities these
can be quite different to commercial applications with focus, for example, on
flexibility, modularity, ease of use, and financial constraints.
For this session, we
would like to invite papers which focus on:
·
Examining the
requirements of robots in different educational scenarios
·
Reporting
successful implementations that work well
·
Giving
directions on how to design appropriate platforms
·
Application of
robots in various subjects
or related topics.
