RoboCup in higher education: A preliminary report

Abstract

Since team-based projects have been proven to be an effective pedagogical tool, we have been using RoboCup challenges as the basis for class projects in undergraduate courses. This paper unifies several independent efforts in this direction and presents early work in the development of shared resources and evaluation. We outline three courses and describe the related class projects in order to make the context of our investigation clear and to make it possible for others to replicate or extend our work, and contribute to the shared resource.
