Abstract

This paper introduces a project based interdisciplinary course in computer science. The students of the course Robotics should create an autonomous robot for a museum. Therefore various soft and technical skills were measured, the goals were determined and the results of the course are compared to earlier courses. The aim of the project based approach in combination with a real life scenario was to deepen a holistic view of different topics in robotics and to strengthen the motivation of the students.
