Abstract
We describe the concept of a mobile robotics course for undergraduate students from an educational point of view in terms of learning goals, experiences, and hardware design. The course as well as the hardware was continuously improved over more than a decade. Hence, we like to describe our motivation and the current structure of the course in order to share our experiences as an inspiration for similar courses.
