. IntroductionThis paper describes how an automatable platform, the Khepera robot, has been integrated into partsof the curriculum at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). The Khepera robot is a smallmicroprocessor driven device.1 The device is shown in Figure 1. It is a convenient platform forinvestigating each element of an autonomous system; namely data acquisition, signal conditioningand microprocessor control. This device is flexible enough to be used for a full range of purposes,from pre-college recruiting to laboratory design projects.This paper discusses how the Khepera robot is used in engineering recruiting and integrated intodesign projects. Code fragments are offered in this paper. The code is written primarily in Procommscript.2 This enables
