论文摘要
在本文中，我们报告了使用云机器人解决方案在苏黎世应用科学大学（Zhaw）教授机器人应用程序编程课程。基于Kubernetes的云计算环境与真实机器人（Turtlebots和Niryo Arms）相结合的使用使我们可以：1）最大程度地减少为所有学生独立于其笔记本电脑架构和OS提供机器人操作系统（ROS）模拟和开发环境所需的设置时间； 2）提供无缝的“模拟真实”体验，以保留与物理世界相互作用的撰写软件的激动人心的体验； 3）在多个学生群体上共享GPU，因此有效地使用资源。 我们描述了我们的需求，解决方案设计，在教育环境中使用解决方案的经验以及可以进一步改进的领域。这可能是其他可能想复制我们的经验的教育者感兴趣的。
In this paper, we report on our use of cloud-robotics solutions to teach a Robotics Applications Programming course at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). The usage of Kubernetes based cloud computing environment combined with real robots -- turtlebots and Niryo arms -- allowed us to: 1) minimize the set up times required to provide a Robotic Operating System (ROS) simulation and development environment to all students independently of their laptop architecture and OS; 2) provide a seamless "simulation to real" experience preserving the exciting experience of writing software interacting with the physical world; and 3) sharing GPUs across multiple student groups, thus using resources efficiently. We describe our requirements, solution design, experience working with the solution in the educational context and areas where it can be further improved. This may be of interest to other educators who may want to replicate our experience.
