Abstract
The Rubio Simulator came from a project from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, which develop a robot called Robo Rubik[1].The robot was entirely designed by engineering and computer science students at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, and consists of mechanical, electrical and software parts integrating a computing system that was full customized to solve autonomously Rubik cubes at any initial position. However, as the project advanced and started to be more complex, it became impractical to run the robot every time that a test needed to be done, because it took almost two minutes to solve each cube. Also, it was a great risk since the robot’s parts were quite expensive, and an accident could cause irreparable damages. Thus the need of a simulator, so that tests could be made without further risks or costs. Both the robot and its simulator have employed extensively Problem Based Learning(PBL)[2].
