Supervisor:

Department of Cybernetics

Synopsis:

Course aim is to mediate practical skills in robot control in a complex task (containing robot architecture design, sensor data processing, navigation, map building, planning, and intelligent decision making) to students. Emphasis is placed on practical laboratories, where students solve a non-trivial task (treasure hunt) on a real mobile robot hardware. Time to implementation and experiments is dedicated in order to clear why basic algorithms don't always work and why to use more sophisticated methods. The course is a suitable complement to A3M33IRO.
