Abstract :
We have developed an autonomous mobile robotic platform named Robot Universite de Sherbrooke (ROBUS) that can be used in various activities of both curricula and adequately reflects the challenges of ECE projects. This article describes the mobile boric platform, ROBUS, that we developed and explains how it is used in various activities, such as course work, pedagogical activities, and the RoboToy Contest.
