Abstract

This paper describes the educational mobile robotic platform Solarcar. The platform is used for teaching purposes, especially for description of theoretical as well as practical aspects of using alternative energy sources in embedded system design. The robot was designed and built as the supportive material for the students of study field Computer engineering, for the subject Embedded systems. Through its usage, the principles of so called Green computing in the background of complex physics are taught in a playful, and for students interesting way.
