Development and implementation of a multifunctional mobile robot training kit in embedded control systems instruction in vocational education.

This project describes how we built and used a versatile mobile‑robot training kit to improve teaching of embedded control systems in vocational and undergraduate engineering programs. The kit combines the key parts needed for mechatronics labs: a microcontroller, motor drivers, a variety of sensors, and communication modules. All of these are packaged together as a single, easy‑to‑assemble system. The hardware is set up to support many lab experiments. Students can start with simple tasks like motor control and sensor data collection, then move on to more complex work such as path planning and obstacle‑avoidance algorithms. By working with a real, interactive robot, they see how theory turns into a working

system. Using the kit, students can write, run, and debug real‑time embedded code. This gives them hands‑on experience with hardware‑software co‑design, signal conditioning, and closed‑loop feedback control. Because the kit is modular, instructors can adapt it to different course levels. They can add or remove components to match specific learning goals and create custom lab exercises. Overall, the training kit is meant to boost student interest, build technical skills, and strengthen problem‑solving abilities in embedded mechatronic systems.
