Teaching, Learning and Assessment of Agents and Robotics in a Computer Science Curriculum

This paper presents our experience in integrating agents and robotics in our Computer Science Curriculum. We present a series of modules throughout our curriculum that progressively address these themes and other AI related topics, which ends with a specialised final year module central to teaching and learning multi-agent systems and principles of robotics. As part of this module a Robotics Challenge is organised, allowing students to integrate the knowledge they obtained in previously attended modules, and to practically apply knowledge and skills in order to solve a real problem.
