| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research utilized two-wheeled inverted pendulum vehicles as a teaching tool and aimed to have students understand the structure, control technologies, and programs therein as they attempted to design and construct said vehicle in a comprehensive fashion. The research involved not building a new item from scratch, but rather dismantling an existing item to understand its layout, then rebuilding and mimicking its structure. The students had virtually no experience with building, but allowing them to dismantle and then rebuild the vehicle at the start of the course enabled them to understand the core technologies therein; at the conclusion of the course, the pedagogic effects of this method were confirmed by the students' feelings of completion and satisfaction at successfully completing the build.
