Embedded Systems - Embodied Agents, Robot Programming in Java for the NXT Mindstorms

Explore embedded Java programming for robotics using the Lego Mindstorms NXT set in this conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2012. Discover how the Department of Computer Science at Aarhus University utilizes this platform to teach master-level courses on embedded systems and robotics programming. Learn about implementing simple regulation systems and programming robot flocks to map unknown environments. Gain insights into the leJOS Java system for controlling Lego sensors and actuators connected to the NXT microcomputer unit. Follow the progression of students through lab sessions as they master sensor input interpretation and actuator control. Witness examples of innovative student projects that showcase the practical applications of these skills in robotics and embedded systems.
