Climbing Robot Competition experience at University of Catania

摘要

Robotic competitions are spreading all over the world for their importance in attracting students and disseminating the use of new technologies. The spirit of these competitions is to direct students towards science and technology and at the same time to entertain. The robotic group of the University of Catania found very useful this kind of events and, every year, involves small groups of students, providing them only the basic concepts and logistic support, without directly managing the team. The final results are that students learn faster basic theoretical concept of robotics and solve practical problems while enhance their capability to organize a work-group.
