The application of a micromouse kit to raise student interest in learning the implementation skills of autonomous mobile robots is presented in this paper. The kit is devised for both a project-oriented hands-on laboratory for graduate students, and introductory workshops for vocational high school students and teachers. To enhance the learning outcomes, micromouse contests are also organised for students to see how well the techniques are applied in their micromice. The assessments and feedback from students show the kit and the related laboratory experiences do help motivate students to learn actively and successfully the implementation skills of autonomous mobile robots.
