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 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.

Intended learning outcomes

After completing the course the student should be able to

  1. recall basic concepts in robotics
  2. implement and integrate software components for robots
  3. solve a robotics task with limited resources
  4. 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.
