Abstract

This paper describes the Design Workshop course offered at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (ECE) at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). This workshop course is one mechanism by which students completing the ECE program at UMD can satisfy the requirement for a senior design project. The design workshop topic for the spring 2002 was the use of fuzzy logic to control mobile robots. In this workshop, students worked in small groups and were required to design, build and program a mobile robot with intelligent behaviors using fuzzy logic. In this workshop no formal lectures were taught, however the students received an intensive review covering the topics of the 68HC12 microcontroller, principles of mobile robots, sensors, and fuzzy logic.
