Abstract
In this paper, while control engineering replete with mathematical content
is difficult for a beginner to learn, it is a practical branch of learning
where the control theories expressed by mathematical equations prove useful
only after being put into practice. However, the current status of students’
interest and curiosity in this regard is not favorable based on the impression
that by learning the mathematical content only it is not possible to comprehend
its actual use in practice. Accordingly, this study proposes an educational
method for control systems utilizing robots, with the purpose of developing
tools for inculcating interest and curiosity in students on contents such
as automatic control and proportional-integral-differential (PID) control.
The usefulness of the developed tools is also verified.
