MIRTO for Teaching
- We developed a new BSc in Computer Science.
- We wanted the students to build systems that interacted with
the world.
- So we start them with an Arduino board with some lights and
switches.
- Shortly there after, we give them a MIRTO robot.
- They program the robot, via the raspberry Pi.
- They program in Racket.
- We give them some sensor and effector primitives.
- This gives them some experience of closed loop systems.
- Additionally, MIRTO provides an extensible platform for Product Design
Engineering students.
- Instead of starting from scratch, they have a working system to which
they can add new devices, such as a camera.
