We're trying an experiment here at Georgia Tech: We're teaching freshman Computer Science 101 (CS 1301 to be exact) with personal robots. Every student has her own robot to take home and work with. All the fundamentals of CS are taught in the context of programming a mobile robot with sensors, motors, a camera and a speaker. During this talk I will report on our success with this approach.
