MIRTE Master:

A low cost, modular, open-source platform consisting of hardware, software, and education materials.

Abstract

At the Cognitive Robotics department at ME, we have developed a highly successful open-source robotics educational program, revolving around mobile robots. We have a low cost, modular, open-source platform consisting of hardware, software, and education materials, called MIRTE. Currently this robot is being used in multiple of our Bachelor courses, as well as on HBO, MBO and high-school level.
With this project, we intend to expand the MIRTE project to MSc-level in the MSc Robotics Program, and to be made available for other educational programs (inside and outside TU Delft) as well. For ourselves, this project will solve the problem of standardization. By having several courses use the same platform, each course needs to spend less time on practicalities and can focus more on the course’s own learning goals. For collaborators or users (inside or outside TU Delft) of our materials, we solve the problems of cost and development effort. We expect that this will increase the number and quality of robotics education programs. From the student’s perspective we can have a more active learning environment, but moving to a physical standardized robot platform, rather than using different kinds of simulations.
