Teaching any subject related to mobile robotics requires the teacher’s extensive knowledge and competencies in many engineering and science disciplines. From mechanical to cognitive and social sciences, passing through other fields like electrical, electronics, and computer engineering (Nourbakhsh et al., 2005), a teacher in those matters is a person that can embrace knowledge from all of them. The technology-driven environment that we live in makes it possible for mobile robots to keep developing, to be smarter and more capable of performing complex tasks.
A new paradigm arises, but the world is learning that robotics is not about replacing people, but about helping them in otherwise boring and repetitive tasks.

- U04.Innovative methodologies for STEMOne often wonders how to arouse students' interest in scientific disciplines: which methodologies to use? Which techniques, scenarios and tools? How, then, do we 'encourage' learning? Certainly the learning environments, already discussed in the previous chapters, play their part. If they are stimulating and innovative, they certainly encourage students and prompt them to new knowledge. It is equally true, however, that the methodologies applied in education, especially in science, play a fundamental role.14
