Abstract

This paper shows the use of an embedded robotic platform of low cost and high performance, hand in hand with problem-based learning strategies, to professional training in Electrical Engineering at the District University Francisco José de Caldas (Colombia). These technical training and research tools involves several innovations, among which stand out the robot itself, which is inexpensive, robust and with high performance (suitable for both training and research), the study of real problems and the support with software tools that complement a smart learning environment. The robot has a mechanical differential platform that is easy to build and modify, a processing hardware supported in a 900 MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU able to run a graphical OS, and ROS as communication and control software. As advantages of its implementation has documented a better appropriation of theoretical concepts, increased student enthusiasm, improved ease of communication and teamwork, and greater interest in participation in research activities.
