Robotic Experiments (REX)
Course content
This course introduces students to fundamental techniques for mobile autonomous robotics. In this course, a robot is a computer mounted on a chassis with controllable wheels. To allow the robot to perceive its surroundings, a camera and several distance sensors are attached to the computer. This course is oriented towards the practical aspects of mobile robotics and students will in groups solve a set of assignments on the robots. Furthermore, students will be introduced to relevant robotics theory and methods including control, navigation and localization of the robot as well as problem solving with robots. Some methods for analysing sensor data will also be covered. The course finishes with a larger assignment.
Knowledge of
- Robotics architecture
- Robot control for moving the robot
- Collision detection and avoidance
- Planning in robotics
- Methods for detection and tracking of static and dynamical targets
- Methods for localization of the robot in its environment
- Robots as embedded systems
Skills in
- Use of software libraries for robot control and sensor data processing
- Programming robots
- Handling and analysing noisy sensor data
Competences in
- Practical problem solving with robots
A mix of lectures and practical exercises. Students are expected to actively participate in all lectures and exercise classes. Assignments are solved in groups working on a robot. It is impossible to pass the course without active participation in the course, since you will lack the practical experience with working with the robots.

- ECTS
- 7,5 ECTS
- Type of assessment
-
Practical oral examination, 30 minutes
- Type of assessment details
- Oral examination without preparation time, which consists of a
group demonstration of solution to practical assignment as well as
individual questioning of the students (In total 30 minutes – 15
minutes for group demonstration and 15 minutes for individual oral
examination including grading).
During the individual questioning the focus is on assessing the students understanding of the theory taught on the course. - Aid
- All aids allowed
For programming tasks specifically, the use of GitHub Copilot or similar AI-based programming tools is permitted. The finite list of allowed AI-tools will be announced in Absalon.
