Mechatronics training on source separation analysis using a gyroscopic motion of a LEGO's robot

This paper demonstrates the educational effectiveness of experimenting in mechatronics by building robots out of LEGO. The paper also explains the experimental setup and the mechatronics educational experience gained by both students and academic staff. Project-based learning of this exercise proved to be a successful vehicle to motivate students and achieve the desired educational objectives.
