The course is an advanced introduction to AI and robotics as a hands-on experience to interactively learn how to create different and multiple intelligent robots. In this course we will use several robot platforms, namely: iRobot Create, Scribbler, AIBO, and ER1-based ones.
We will use, as the underlying development framework, and for the first time in a course: The Microsoft Robotics Studio!
The course is organized as a 2-hour lecture on Monday and a lab class on Wednesday. There will be well-targeted weekly hands-on homeworks, a midterm, and a final project.
Topics covered in the course are:
Experience with an object-oriented language is required (e.g. C++ or C#). Python will be taught as part of the labs. Please contact the instructor if you are in doubt whether you fullfil the prerequisites.
