“…Technical knowledge is crucial for the software development process, however, communication skills, working in a group, assigning tasks and monitoring the work progress as well as taking responsibility for making choices are required skills for the software development process [7]. There are lots of defenders of students" engagement in solving real-world problems that involve real stakeholders through project work [8]- [10].…”

Requirements engineering process showed that it has the potential to affect software development process and consequently cause unexpected problems in the produced software. Reducing the likelihood of such issues requires proper preparation for software engineering students during their undergraduate studies to reduce the gap between theory and practice. Students must develop the soft skills that are needed to practice software engineering activities, especially requirements engineering. Accordingly, encouraging students to learn and practice requirements engineering concepts and activities are required. Students undertake the requirements engineering course in one semester, where the lecturer focuses on delivering the theoretical concepts to students which creates teacher-centred learning. It is difficult for students to develop the required critical thinking and communication skills that enable them to solve real-world problems in such a teacher-centred environment. This study uses Project-Based Learning (PBL), Social Networking Sites (SNSs) and cloud enhanced communication to design a non-traditional teaching approach to improve students’ learning and to achieve a learner-centred learning environment in a requirements engineering course. The developed approach was applied to a requirements engineering course at our university to investigate its effectiveness and its impact on students’ learning ability. The students in the investigational group learned with the new method; however, the students in the control group learned with the traditional learning method. The results of our experiment show that the proposed approach significantly improved the achievement, motivation and attitude of our students as well as

“…To expose the student to true agile projects and practices, [29] developed a "tech start-up model" approach to teaching agile software development to software engineers by leveraging collaboration with an entrepreneurship class. Through a combination of agile and lean start-up practices their module provided an interdisciplinary mix, where the students were able to learn from each other, and enabled the software engineering students to heavily involve users and business people (entrepreneurship students) in their development process.…”

“…The following conclusions are made: scaling in industrial robotics is achieved through the use of the modular control systems and unification of main components; multiple industrial robot interaction is organized using centralized global planning or the use of previously simulated control programs, eliminating possible collisions in working area; intellectual technologies in industrial robotics are used primarily at the strategic level of the control system which is usually non-real time, and in some cases even implemented as a remote cloud service; from the point of view of ensuring fault tolerance, the industrial robots developers are primarily focused on the early prediction of faults and the planned decommissioning of the robots, and are not on highly-avaliability in case of failures; industrial robotics does not impose serious requirements on the dimensions and weight of the control devices.

На последующих итерациях происходит доработка и масштабирование минимально жизнеспособного продукта с наделением его новым функционалом.…”

В работе представлен обзор роботов различного масштаба и назначения. В ходе обзора анализируются применяемые аппаратные и программные решения и обобщаются наиболее распространенные структурные схемы систем управления. По результатам обзора проводится анализ подходов к масштабированию систем управления, применению алгоритмов интеллектуального управления, обеспечению отказоустойчивости, снижению массогабаритных размеров элементов систем управления, свойственных для разных классов роботов. Целью работы является поиск общих подходов, применяемых в различных областях робототехники для построения на их основе единой методологии проектирования масштабируемых интеллектуальных систем управления робототехническими комплексами с заданным уровнем отказоустойчивости на унифицированной элементной базе. Данная часть обзора посвящена промышленной робототехнике. По результатам проведенного обзора и анализа сделаны следующие выводы: масштабирование в промышленной робототехнике достигается за счет использования модульного принципа построения систем управления и типорядов основных компонентов; групповое взаимодействие нескольких промышленных роботов организуется за счет централизованного глобального планирования или использования заранее созданных и промоделированных управляющих программ, исключающих возможные коллизии при работе нескольких роботов в одной рабочей зоне; интеллектуальные технологии в промышленной робототехнике находят применение в первую очередь на стратегическом уровне системы управления, который, как правило, исполняется вне режима реального времени, а в отдельных случаях вынесен из блока управления роботом в виде удаленного облачного сервиса; с точки зрения обеспечения отказоустойчивости, разработчики в первую очередь сфокусированы на заблаговременном предсказании неисправностей и плановом выводе робота из эксплуатации, а не на сохранении его работоспособности в случае каких-либо сбоев; промышленная робототехника не предъявляет серьезных требований к массогабаритным размерам устройств управления.Ключевые слова: робототехника, промышленные роботы, системы управления, мобильные роботы, манипуляторы.
