Abstract
The purpose of the Department of Systems and Control Engineering at Osaka Prefectural College of Technology is to train students who can construct synthetic systems. To achieve this purpose, we have had a case study on robotics in fourth grade since 1994. The contents of the subject are to design and make autonomous robots. The subject has a contest with different themes each year. The theme for 1998 was "Musical Performance Robots". This was to make seven robots and to form an ensemble. In this paper, we evaluated the case study on robotics, the role of Amusement Robot to "Educatement". The comparison about the sound between human playing and robot playing was conducted.
