Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Laboratory
  • Preparation for classes - 48 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 26 hours per semester
  • Semestral paper - 26 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course focuses on topics to be included in the field of artificial intelligence and their use in robotics and autonomous and embedded systems. The aim of the course is to introduce the selected methods from those fields, emphasis will be put on the classic agent concept of autonomous systems. The topics related to human-robot interaction and to problems of coordination of autonomous systems will also be included. During the seminars the students will learn to implement selected methods both in simulation models and in real robotic systems. After completing the course the student obtains a sufficient understanding of AI techniques applicable in autonomous systems and robots and will also have personal experience with their implementation.
Upon completion of the course the student will have knowledge of interrelated areas of autonomous systems and artificial intelligence and advanced data processing of various data types. Student will be able to to practically use this knowledge and implement it both in the simulation environment and in real robot systems and robots.
Prerequisites
To complete the course, it is advisable to have basic knowledge of computer networks and programming.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination, Analysis of student's work activities (technical works), Seminar work

During the semester, students work on projects arising from the subject matter. The exam is evaluated on the basis of semester, semestral work and theoretical test. Terms of endings: Compleeting exercise projects (about 5 tasks) - 5 x 10 p. (min. 25 p.) Semestral work - 40 b. (min. 20 b.) Test - 30 p. (min. 15 p.)
