Robotics Practice / Applied Robotics

Course type: specialized / compulsory elective module

Instructor: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vladislav Nenchev

Program: Master Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) - specializations Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS) and Electronic Design Automation (EDA), Cyber Security (CYB)

Credit points: 5 / 6

As part of a project, student teams independently solve a task that involves controlling an autonomous vehicle. The teams are responsible for planning the solution and implementation. Algorithms for Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM), Path Planning, and Control are applied and configured in the lab or in the field. Content from other modules, such as the ones in the specialization “Autonomous Intelligent Systems”, may also be applied in the solution.

For the implementation, an autonomous mobile robot (e.g. a four-wheel vehicle) is to be programmed. The robot is controlled using the Robot Operating System (ROS) and existing modules can be used.
