Target group
Searchable for students from year 3 and for students admitted to a master programme.
Meritis done in the following way: Credits in the program. Someone who only follows a master's program at KTH will count 180 credits plus credits in the master's program. Anyone who attended at leastone course in electronics, computer vision, control engineering, mechanics, computer engineering or C/C ++-programmingwill add 5 credits per subject to the taken credts.

Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should be able to
- recall basic concepts in robotics
- implement and integrate software components for robots
- solve a robotics task with limited resources
- identify and discuss ethical and societal aspects of robot technology
in order to
- be able to work with autonomous and other complex systems in research and/or development
- become better at planning, executing and developing work in project groups.
Course main content
During the course a small, mobile, autonomous robot for performing certain tasks is built. This work is carried out in groups as a project. At the end of the course there is a contest between the robots that the participants have constructed.
The lecture part of the course deals with fundamental concepts in robotics.
The practical part of the course adds hands on experience with sensors, actuators, programming of systems and building of robots.
Eligibility
Single course students: Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent including 45 university credits in Mathematics or Information Technology. Furthermore: English B, or equivalent.
Recommended prerequisites
Knowledge in mathematics and programming.
Electronics, computer vision, control engineering, mechanics and computer technology is an advantage.
A very large part of the project consists of programming in C/C++ why experience of this is a big plus and knowledge of a language at least similar to C (as Java or C#) is a requirement.
