Using LEGO NXT Mobile Robots With LabVIEW for Undergraduate Courses on Mechatronics. Gómez-de-Gabriel, Jesús Manuel Mandow, Anthony Fernández-Lozano, Juan Jesús García-Cerezo, Alfonso José Robótica Tecnología educativa Ingeniería - Estudio y enseñanza Robots - Programación Aprendizaje basado en proyectos The paper proposes lab work and student competitions based on the LEGO NXT Mindstorms kits and standard LabVIEW. The goal of this combination is to stimulate design and experimentation with real hardware and representative software in courses where mobile robotics is adopted as a motivating platform to introduce mechatronics competencies. Basic LabVIEW examples are proposed for three case-study laboratory practices. These are implemented with the NXT Toolkit and the NXT Direct Command programming libraries for standalone and remote execution, respectively. The application of this instructional material has been tested in two different experiences with senior undergraduate engineering students. A description of the courses as well as an assessment of student results are also included. 2025-07-17T07:07:45Z 2025-07-17T07:07:45Z 2025-07-17T07:07:45Z 2010-03-15 journal article J. M.
