| Abstract | Abstract: We describe the possibility of using the Lego Mindstorms robots to support the ACM Computing Curriculum 2001, using them in lab exercises and projects for classes from beginning courses in programming to advanced courses in operating systems, compilers, networks and artificial intelligence. We first describe the limitations of the robots, both hardware and software, and some third-party programming environments that overcome some of these limitations. Finally, we describe our own work on a package of tools called MTM that eliminates most of the remaining limitations. MTM includes enhanced firmware that allows point-to-point communication and the reading of the machine state, a C++ API for programming the robots, and packages, in both Common Lisp and Java, for programming the robots and for remotely controlling them. |
