Abstract

We investigate the role of open source software in the learning, teaching, utilization, and development of educational robotics and its corresponding core technologies. First, we present a survey of current open source solutions for the LEGO® MindStormsTM Robotics Invention SystemTM. Next, we discuss the role of open source software in the development of two undergraduate robotics projects.
