移动机器人在高等教育科学和工程教学中发挥着重要作用，因为它们提供了一个灵活的平台，可以探索和教授机械、电子和软件等广泛的主题。不幸的是，其广泛采用受到其高成本和用户界面和编程工具的复杂性的限制。为了克服这些问题，提出了一种新的价格合理，适应性强且易于使用的机器人平台。Mona是一个低成本、开源和开放硬件的移动机器人，它已经被开发成与许多标准编程环境兼容。该机器人已成功用于英国曼彻斯特大学的教育和研究。
Mobile robots are playing a significant role in Higher Education science and engineering teaching, as they offer a flexible platform to explore and teach a wide-range of topics such as mechanics, electronics and software. Unfortunately the widespread adoption is limited by their high cost and the complexity of user interfaces and programming tools. To overcome these issues, a new affordable, adaptable and easy-to-use robotic platform is proposed. Mona is a low-cost, open-source and open-hardware mobile robot, which has been developed to be compatible with a number of standard programming environments. The robot has been successfully used for both education and research at The University of Manchester, UK.
