            Abstract : 
Mobile robots (MR) can be used as valuable educational tools due to their complexity and different types of elements included in the same unit. In this paper, it will be analyzed the structure of a mobile robot specially developed by authors for educational purposes. Some possible experiments and how these can be implemented will be also presented.
