Abstract
In the effort to meet the steadily changing demands of teaching computer science and computer engineering, new methods of learning and teaching are used by which multifarious knowledge and learning techniques can be imparted, practical skills and abilities can be developed and teamwork and creativity are encouraged. A promising attempt is the use of robotic construction kits.
This paper portrays the educational environment that was used at the courses “Hamburg RoboCup: Mobile autonomous robots play soccer” at the University of Hamburg, Germany and “Advanced robotics – Soccer playing mobile autonomous robots” at the California State University of Chico, USA and compares the experiences made during both courses due to intercultural differences.
