Acesso em: 24 jul. 2017.2255-5706http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/handle/123456789/8318With the teaching of robotics it is possible to explore the multidisciplinary formation of the engineering student. The use of an appropriate learning methodology enables the development of transversal skills in this educational formation. In this paper we discuss a new experience with Project-Based Learning (PBL) involving the design and development of a low-cost robot manipulator with six degrees of freedom, to motivate the undergraduate students studying Robotics Elements discipline in Control and Automation Engineering and Mechanical Engineering courses of the Escola de Minas at the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, carried out during two years (from 2012 to 2014). The key learning objectives and the tools used to implement this project will be detailed. Evaluation results show that this project was effective in engaging the students.pt-BRrestritoEducational robotsActive learningArtigo publicado em periodicohttp://rita.det.uvigo.es/VAEPRITA/201412/uploads/VAEP-RITA.2014.V2.N4.A5.pdf
