Abstract :
In this paper, we developed an autonomous robot using LabVIEW and an ARM processor for project-based learning experience in higher education. Coron and Luminary Micro evaluation boards are used for hardware prototyping with a combination of third-party sensors. Due to the open and customizable structure of the ARM hardware platform and the intuitive programming of LabVIEW, this system is considered an efficient and appropriate approach for robotics education.
