AB  - Mobile robots are used in many different fields, including transportation, search and rescue, demining, and space exploration. Image processing and object avoidance concepts are interesting and challenging subjects for students to learn and often come up in robotics competitions such as FIRST Robotics.  The paper describes an instructional module involving the design, construction, and evaluation of a smart mobile robot system with autonomous navigation in an indoor setting for middle school students. The mobile robotic platform was built using VEX system components. The VEX ultrasonic rangefinders and an iPhone camera were positioned at different heights on the robotic platform for use in object recognition and avoidance. Real-time images were captured and uploaded to a cloud server for video streaming and object recognition. Outputs from the sensors and video streaming were used to dynamically control the movement of the mobile robot. A post-evaluation of the instructional module indicated that students highly enjoyed the hands-on experience as well as learning the subjects.
