Course detail
Mobile Robots
FSI-0MR Acad. year: 2018/2019 Summer semester
The course explains basic techniques for the development of mobile robots. It addresses all necessary steps from initial design through simulation verification to the realization of an autonomous mobile robot. It is also intended for students who want to understand the basics principles of algorithms while solving simple engineering problems. The course consists of creating simple robotic projects in workgroups. Students are encouraged to intuitive approach while solving problems in the field of mobile robotics.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Practical experiments are realized with support of commonly used hardware in mobile robotics and automotive (embedded systems, parking assistance sensors, etc.). The course is primarily designed for students interested in mobile robotics.
Prerequisites
The course is intended for enthusiastic students with interests in mobile robotics. Some programming skills are welcomed as well as any knowlege about microcontrollers, sensors etc ... however, not required.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Practical experiments are underway with support of commonly used hardware in mobile robotics and automotive (embedded systems, parking assistance sensors, etc.). The course is designed primarily for students interested in mobile robotics.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Credit requirements: active participation in laboratories and successful implementation of a group project in cooperation with the teacher. The project is defended by presenting in front of other students and ended with a practical demonstration of the implemented project. The evaluation is fully in competence of a tutor according to the valid directives of BUT.
Aims
The main objective of the course is to look behind the methods relating to mobile robots during practical realization of sample projects:
* explaining a relation of mobile robotics to the automotive industry
* deploying principles of embedded systems in mobile robotics (using the automotive HW, parking assistance, etc.)
* understanding the principles of programming using the Python programming language and embedded C.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Participation in laboratories is desirable in the case to fulfill the credits requirements. Teaching is divided according to weekly schedules. The form of compensation for missed seminars is fully at the discretion of the teacher.
