The HumanoidLab
2014
The HumanoidLab is a more than 5 year old activity aimed to use educational robots to approach students
to our Research Centre. Different commercial educative humanoid platforms have been used to introduce
students to different aspects of robotics using projects and offering guidance and assistance. About 40 students
have performed small mechanics, electronics or programming projects that are used to improve the robots by
adding features. Robotics competitions are used as a motivation tool. A two weeks course was started that
has received 80 undergraduate students, and more than 100 secondary school students in a short version. The
experience has been very positive for students and for the institution: some of these students have performed
their scholar projects and research in robotics and continue enrolled in the robotics field, and some of them are
currently in research groups at IRI.
