This article demonstrates a theoretical and practical solution for modelling, simulation and the didactic implementation of an automatic control system locating of a mobile robot to be used as a learning tool. The displacement of the robot is based on the differential traction configuration whose approximate mathematical model was simulated with the Matlab-Simulink tool as a theoretical support. The construction and design of the robot requires image processing to validate the position of the prototype in a cartesian plane in the classroom. The system is used as a strategy of knowledge transfer to support the program of technological training on “Diseno e Intergracion de Automatismos Mecatronicos del Centro la Industria, la Empresa y los Servicios - SENA Regional Huila”.
