Abstract
The field of mobile robotics has a long tradition and due to recent developments, we expect a huge potential for the future. Expertise in the area of mobile robotics is important for computer science students. The topic has many connections to different other computer science areas such as computer vision, algorithms, planning, world modeling and machine learning but is also related to basic fields such as mathematics, geometry, statistics, graph theory and optimization techniques. Students have to consider hardware and real-time issues, meanwhile they have to deal with uncertainty of data that are based on sensors. Software development differs from typical desktop, office or client-server developments that often are in focus of computer science studies. As a consequence, academic courses on mobile robotics differ in many ways from other courses. A major issue: we have to get the students very quickly to a point to achieve progress in their projects. Moreover, the teacher has to have an environment to manage the different facets of the complex topics.
