Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

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 theoretical part of the course deals with fundamental concepts in robotics, kinematics, navigation and digital control. The practical part of the course adds hands on experience with sensors, actuators, programming of microcontrollers and building of robots.

Intended learning outcomes

After completing the course the student should

  • be able to design and implement an autonomous robot almost from scratch including mechanics, computer software and hardware as well as programming.
  • be able explain basic concepts and technologies in the broad and interdisciplinary field of robotics,
  • be able to identify the possibilities and limitations for robottechnology of today,

The course also provides valuable experience in

  • project based problem solving
  • writing a report that documents the work carried out in the project
