Abstract

This paper presents some feedback on projects proposed to graduate students in an engineering curriculum to learn robotics and control theory. The projects mix sciences and arts by considering the development of a light painting system with ground mobile robots. The approach followed the concept of Project Based Learning (PBL), enabling the students to discover and learn new notions. It also helped them to get a better understanding of modules they previously attended in their curriculum by putting theoretical notions into practice. On this aspect, the projects also provided some interesting feedback to the supervising team that will be of some help for the teaching pedagogy and the curriculum definition.
