Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course gives students with a special interest in robotics, perception and learning the opportunity to read an especially designed a project course in their own interest field. Both course content and assessment are designed individually for each project. To be able to start the course, the student should first contact a teacher connected to the interest field and thereafter course coordinator. The course can only be offered if the department has enough resources and skills in the current field.
Intended learning outcomes
Having passed the course, the student shall be able to
choose a course of approach and define, follow and follow up a plan for carrying out the task in a given resource budget,
Present orally and in writing, a description and defense of a technical solution to a problem in robotics, perception and learning
in order to
be able to participate professionally in project work in activities in robotics, perception and learning.
Preparations before course start
Specific preparations
In principle the course can be initiated both bottom-up (i.e. by students) and top-down (i.e. by teachers). To take the course a teacher must be willing, capable and have time to supervise the project and take on the role as supervisor and teacher in the course and ensure that the student engage in learning activities that make them meet the objectives of the course and the specific project. When appropriate the teacher can delegate much of the day-to-day activities in the project to, for example, a PhD student or postdoc, but must remain the one responsible.
Before a new project starts, a specification must be approved by the course coordinator. The specification should contain intended learning outcomes that can be accessed for each student and a description of how the examination should be carried out for both those specific to this project and the general ones that have to be met for all projects.

Support for students with disabilities
Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:
PRO1 - Project work, 7.5 credits, Grading scale: P, F
PRO2 - Project work, 7.5 credits, Grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
As a first stage in the project work of the course a specification must be approved by the course coordinator. The specification should contain intended learning outcomes that can be accessed for each student and a description of how the examination should be carried out for both these and the general aims for this specific project. The project work is divided into two parts with a half time evaluation between to allow individual follow up take place.
Reporting of exam results
As part of PRO2 the course students must provide a document where they describe
how they met the learning outcomes in the course,
how the initial part of the course went when it comes to agreeing on a project and setting it up so that it could be started,
how the workload of the course was overall (15hp means 10 weeks of full time work),
how the workload of the course affected other courses,
what they thing worked well with the course,
what they think could be improved in the course and
what advise they would give to future stduents taking the course.
The purpose of this is to ensure that there is a feedback loop between the students taking the course and the course exminer.
Ethical approach
All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
Further information
Changes of the course before this course offering
The requirement of a course feedback document as part of PRO2 was added to close the loop between the stduents taking the course and the one responsible to follow it up.
