Robot fundamentals 3+3hp

These modules cover the fundamentals of robotics, such as kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, navigation, sensing, hardware, along with an overview of application areas. The course consists of a 3 hp theory module, and an optional 3 hp add-on lab module, in which the students will demonstrate some of the fundamental concepts in simulation and/or on physical robot hardware.

The course is primarily intended as an orientation for students who do not work on robots in their daily work, but want to get a broad understanding of the field of robotics.

This course will be given once as part of the preparation for a MSc level course that will start in Autumn 2018. This means that the course will start in Period 3 (after Christmas 2017/18).

The course starts Tuesday Feb 13 13:15. The course will have two lectures (almost) every week. Tuesdays 13-15 and Thursdays 10-12.
