Education, 2009 Use of a Low-Cost Camera-Based Positioning System In a First-Year Engineering Cornerstone Design ProjectAbstractAlthough the concept of autonomous robot design projects has existed in engineering educationfor years as a tool for giving engineering students hands-on experience, in practice, the autonomyof these projects has been limited due to cost. Student programmers participating in theseprojects often have limited ways to interact with their environment autonomously, relying onlow-cost sensors such as touch sensors instead of interacting with a high-cost camera-basedpositioning system. This not only limits the autonomy of the robot, but robs the student ofvaluable design and programming experience
