Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course is structured around the following topics:
- Robotics foundations: kinematics and dynamics, position and orientation estimation, motion planning and control;
- Specific design: mobile wheeled robots;
- Environment measurement and perception: inertial sensors, satellite navigation systems, range sensing, image-based navigation, multi-sensor data fusion;
- Movement in a natural environment: SLAM, obstacle avoidance, modelling and control of mobile wheeled robots;
- Robotics in agriculture and forestry: state of the art and current issues;
- Programming a robot with ROS.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
After completing the course the student is expected to:
- Integrate different measurments to estimate the position and orientation of a robot in its environment;
- Locate a robot and map its environment;
- Model and control the motion of a mobile wheeled robot;
- Program a robot in the ROS language;
- Understand and discuss current issues in autonomous navigation in natural environments.
