It is suggested that locally available small robots are used to demonstrate hardware in the loop, corresponding to Fig. 3.2. The robots should include sensors and actuators. Robots should run a program implementing a control loop. For example, an optical sensor could be used to let a robot follow a black line on the ground. The details of this assignment depend on the availability of robots.
