Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Practical training
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
  • Preparation for classes - 30 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 39 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The subject teaches principles allowing to build robots capable of perceiving the world around them, plan activities robots in it including the ability to actively influence the world. They studied the different architectures of robots with cognitive abilities and their implementation. Students in the exercises will be make practical experiment with robots. Studied material has broader applicability in designing and building intelligent machines.
The student will learn the basics of robotics. Understand the principle and function of a robotic arm. They will also learn some principles of moving autonomous robots.
Prerequisites
Work with computer Counting with matrices Knowledge of working with Linux and programming in Python is an advantage

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Seminar work

Active participation in seminars (80%) Working-out task. Passing the written test.
