This paper reports the educative effect of the mechatronics education by automatic control robot"OCHINAI-KUN". Recently, hands-on education attracts attention. I have developed an automatic controlrobot "OCHINAI-KUN" for mechatronics education. Make period of the robot is about half a year. Makea robot is carried out in the "Experiments of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering" and "Practice forCreative Thinking" in the third-grade of the Department of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering (M.E.).The automatic control robot "OCHINAI-KUN" is not ready-made product. Students will make a robot byhandmade. This robot consist of a D.C. motor, motor drive circuit, color sensor circuit, position sensorcircuit, power circuit and PIC microcomputer. Students can learn the manufacture method of circuit boardand assembler programming. In addition, students can experience the PDCA cycle. Tournament game washeld at the school festival "IKUEI-SAI". The strong spirit is trained by the tournament game. In this paper,the outline and the educative effect of the automatic control robot "OCHINAI-KUN" are clarified.
