  This paper presents different possibilities of using mobile robots in
education. Through the application of mobile mechatronic robotic system
"Robotino" this paper shows the possibilities of developing interactive
lectures and exercises in order to raise the quality of education and to
provide new competencies for students. Application of robot as a real system
supports strengthening specific areas of knowledge and skills that the students
develop through design, creation, assembly and operating with the robot. This
way of learning contains a very important element and that is "Playful
learning" or learning through play. Along with technical competences, combining
this method with teamwork improves also social skills and motivation for
learning. This paper will present application of the robot in education on
examples of modelling and designing of mechatronic systems, simulating and
parameters monitoring of mechatronic systems, and collecting, processing and
application of data from sensors in mechatronic systems.
