Abstract
This work examines the role of educational robotics towards teaching
high-school children basic automatic control concepts including feedback, the
structure and the differences between open- and closed-loop control systems, the
basic elements of a closed-loop system, the effect of external disturbances, the
tracking error, as well as practical issues concerning control hardware implemen
tation. The ideas are exemplified with hands-on exercises and experiences from
a STEM summer school based on educational robotics.
