Abstract (EN): This paper presents two different approaches to teaching robotics within the Automation, Instrumentation, and Control Group of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). One is a traditional curricular course and the other is based on tutoring and internship approaches carried out at robotic labs. Regarding the robotics course, a formative assessment process based on the use of pre- and post-evaluation quizzes and its results is presented. In the case of the internship, where the main goal is focused on preparing students of different engineering backgrounds in understanding how to deal with robotic systems in real-world tasks and the relevance this technology can play, it is presented one example of the work carried out that involved the design of rehabilitation exercises for the upper limb of a post-stroke patient, implemented through the patient-robot interaction. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
