레고 마인드스톰 NXT는 다른 로봇 키드에 비해서 조작이 간편하며, 고차원적인 로봇 행위를 제어하기 위해 펌웨어인 leJOS를 지원하며, 블루투스를 이용한 원격 제어가 가능하다. 그러나 leJOS는 외부 파일을 제어하거나 센서 하드웨어가 정상 동작하지 않는 등의 몇 가지 문제점이 발견되었다. 본 논문에서는 leJOS가 갖는 이러한 일련의 문제점을 살펴보고, 이에 대한 해결책을 제시한다.

In this paper, we show how a curriculum using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robot based ROBOTC for undergraduate students has been developed, and we analyze the educational effect of the curriculum. The curriculum is composed of basic knowledge learning, practice with basic robots, practice with advanced robots, and creative design and implementation of robots. During the three year period since 2009, educational achievement has been analyzed by surveys for 6 classes, 94 students. According to the analysis, the curriculum has highly motivated the students and made them to achieve effectively our educational and academic goals. Also, we observe that the curriculum helped the students to improve their creativity and the problem solving skill, and that the students were autonomously and deeply involved in the homework and the term projects, which made them be very cooperative. Finally, the intensive practice with ROBOTC programming is shown to help students to improve their programming ability of C language.

ICT education guidelines revised in 2005 reinforce computer science elements such as algorithm, data structure, and programming covering all schools. And Ministry of Education emphasizes STEAM education. Most important is that "How instruct them". This means necessity of contents. So this paper suggests learning method of Stack and Queue using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. The main purpose is that how stack and queue are used, when robot explore realistic maze. Teaching and learning strategies are algorithm, flowchart, and NXT-G programming. Simple maze has path in left or right, but complex maze has three-way intersection. These are developed by authors. Master robot explores maze and push stack, and then return to entrance using stack. Master robot explores maze and transmits path to slave's queue. And then slave robot drives without exploration. Students can naturally learn principles and applications of them. Through these studies, it can improves ability of logical and creative thinking. Furthermore it can apply to ICT and STEAM education.

최근 스마트폰의 수요증가와 대중화로 인하여 스마트폰을 활용한 다양한 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 이중 항만 물류 하역 시스템에도 스마트폰과 관련된 관심이 높아져 스마트폰을 이용한 다양한 서비스를 지원하고 그에 따른 다양한 프로젝트도 진행 중에 있다. 항만 물류 시스템은 중앙관리실에서 자동화된 시스템으로 관리되고 있으며 이중 하역장비 운용은 관리자가 중앙 관리실에서 원격으로 제어 하고 있다. 이는 관리자가 자리에 위치해 있어야만 관리가 가능하기 때문에 관리자의 이동성을 보장 하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 스마트폰으로 하역장비를 원격제어 할 수 있도록 하여 관리자의 이동성을 보장하고 보다 효율적인 작업이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 또한 이를 테스트 해보기 위해 항만 하역장비 원격제어 시스템을 Lego_NXT를 이용하여 프로토타입으로 제시한다.

This paper proposes a teaching plan of programming language class for university of education students amusingly with LEGO Mindstorms NXT robot. The goal of class is not fragmentary knowledge acquirement but problem-solving of maze. This robot communicates with GUI named NXT-G installed in computer via USB. GUI is not text-based but icon-based programming tool. This paper designs a semester with 3 steps such as beginner, intermediate, high-rank. Beginner step is consists of learning of basic functions such as GUI usage and several sensors of robot. Intermediate step is consists of solving of maze problem with low complexity. High-rank step is consists of solving maze problem with medium and high complexity. All maze problem-solving have 3 process with algorithm, flowchart, and programming with stack.

In this paper the author proposes a case study of a freshmen introduction to engineering design course ing LEGO Mindstorm NXT and analyzes the survey results of the course. The diffilculties are that this course should provide various aspects of design experiences to the students while not requiring the major knowledge and skills and it should attract the students to the engineering major. According to our case study LEGO mindstorm can be a good solution to this problem. The design experience with LEGO Mindstorm NXT provides students with various aspects of design experiences including defining problem, finding constraints and functions, exploring design space, and performing preliminary design, as well as fun. This paper also provides a project list that can be used for freshmen design experience including soccer game robots, line tracer, and vacuum cleaner etc.

To help programming learning, we have designed a robot programming course that improves complex cognitive abilities. The developed course was implemented in college programming classes and educational effects were analysed. While students are learning through LEGO Mindstorms NXT and NXT-G software, the students' problem solving abilities have been enhanced. The developed robot programming course gives positive effects on learners' problem solving abilities. It means that the developed course helps a learner in a cognitive domain.

This paper deals with the selection method of effective engineering design problem based on LEGO Mindstorm NXT for basic design education. By YouTube case study of various LEGO-based engineering designs for olympic sports, performance criteria have been developed including programming complexity, structural complexity, sensor/actuator complexity and variety of game operation. Programming complexity includes range of programming code length and possible program variety. Structural complexity includes variety of structural elements such as length, shape, weight, and volume to overcome design restrictions. Sensor/actuator complexity includes variety of sensor used and number of possible actuator assemblies. Variety of game operation includes game complexity and required creativity to make LEGO robots. Based on these performance criteria, four representative sports were selected as the candidates for effective engineering design problem. Finally, feasibility and attributes of each candidate were verified by real implementation examples.
