Using Robots to Enhance An Undergraduate Liberal Arts Computer Science Curriculum with Open-Lab Projects

计算机科学(31)这个项目在本科文科计算机科学课程中使用机器人，以加强两门课程：人工智能(AI)和高级主题。其他教育工作者在人工智能课程中使用机器人的工作通过两种方式进行改编和扩展：1)使用机器人的学习目标是基于高级知识的人工智能算法，而不是低级别的反应算法，最大限度地减少了机器人建设对文科学生的影响；2)机器人被整合到现有的人工智能课程中，而不是通过创建单独的机器人学课程。这将使用机器人对规模较小的文科计算机科学系的教师资源的影响降至最低。最后，机器人用于开放实验室项目，从而将使用机器人对专业学分要求的影响降至最低，同时为学生提供更大的机会来创新他们的解决方案。该项目借鉴了早些时候在圣博纳文特大学、布林莫尔学院和斯沃斯莫尔学院将机器人纳入人工智能课程所做的工作。

Computer Science (31) This project uses robots in an undergraduate liberal arts computer science curriculum to enhance two courses: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Advanced Topics. Work done by other educators on using robots in the Artificial Intelligence course are adapted and extended in two ways: 1) learning objective for the use of robots is based on high-level knowledge-based AI algorithms rather than low-level reactive algorithms, and the impact of robot construction on liberal arts students is minimized; and 2) robots are incorporated into the existing AI course rather than by creating a separate course on robotics. This minimizes the impact of using robots on faculty resources at smaller liberal arts Computer Science departments. Finally, robots are used for open-lab projects thereby minimizing the impact of using robots on the credit requirements for the major, while at the same time, providing students with a greater opportunity to be creative in their solutions. This project adapts the work done earlier in incorporating robots into the AI curriculum at St. Bonaventure University, Bryn Mawr College, and Swarthmore College.
