ITR: An Internet Robotics Learning Testbed

EIA-0082041 Kitts，ChristopherSanta Clara UniversityITR：一个互联网机器人学习测试平台这项研究涉及通过开发和使用互联网机器人学习测试平台（IRLT）来实现基于项目的学习策略。 IRLT将由机器人和控制中心组成。 机器人设备将用于从海洋考古到空间科学的探索任务，控制中心将提供与远程机器人设备的无线通信，以便发送命令和接收数据。 出现的几个IT学习挑战包括人机界面，任务规划，资源调度，故障检测和诊断，以及目标导向的指挥。 IRLT将使学生了解特定IT应用程序的需求，迭代开发此类应用程序，在操作环境中测试应用程序功能，并在使命设置中体验应用程序价值。 IRLT将包括一套服务，以支持协作的IT教育工作者。 这些服务将包括一个教育工作者支持计划，以培训教师使用IRLT作为教育资源，几个预先包装的教育模块，允许快速和低成本地使用测试台，和基于Web的文档提供工程细节，用户手册，新的实验指南，和图书馆过去的IT应用程序。 IRLT将集中在本科工程课程和高中推广计划。 它将吸引来自多所大学和研究实验室的利益相关者，他们将担任顾问和导师。

EIA-0082041Kitts, ChristopherSanta Clara UniversityITR: An Internet Robotics Learning TestbedThis research involves the implementation of a project-based learning strategy through the development and use of an Internet Robotics Learning Testbed (IRLT). The IRLT will consist of a network of robots and control centers. The robotic devices will be used for exploratory missions ranging from ocean archeology to space science and the control centers will provide wireless communication with the remote robotic devices in order to send commands and receive data. Several IT learning challenges that emerge include human-computer interfaces, task planning, resource scheduling, fault detection and diagnosis, and goal-directed commanding. The IRLT will enable students to understand the need for specific IT applications, iteratively develop such applications, test application functionality in an operational environment, and experience application value in a mission setting. The IRLT will include a suite of services to support collaborating IT educators. These services will include an educator support program to train faculty in the use of the IRLT as an educational resource, several pre-packaged educational modules permitting the rapid and low-cost use of the testbed, and Web-based documentation providing engineering details, user manuals, guides for new experiments, and libraries of past IT applications. The IRLT will be centered in an undergraduate engineering curriculum and its high school outreach program. It will draw stakeholders from multiple universities and research laboratories who will serve as advisors and mentors.
