Behaviour co-ordination is one of the major problems in behaviour-based robotics. This paper presents a teaching method for mobile robots to learn the behaviour coordination. In this method, the sensory information is abstracted into a limited number of feature states that correspond to physical events in the interactive process between a robot and its environment. The continuous motor actions ...

Engineering graduate students will ultimately face the decision of whether to stay in academia, work in industry, or pursue a different career path. Of those that elect to remain in academia, most will face balancing substantial research, teaching and service requirements.

The aim of these courses is to teach and demonstrate different ERP related concepts and processes. To support these courses, some ERP manufacturers co-operate closely with universities and offer their sys...

Learning Management Systems (LMS) form a powerful basis to integrate practitioners and industrial partners into teaching activities. Taking a university-wide LMS as the basis, one critical issue in this respect is to bring together lecturers and industrial partners willing to co-operate in teaching efforts addressing a mutual field of interest. In the present paper we introduce an approach to s...
