Modern robot systems architecture key aspect is the relationship between software solutions and mechanical solutions. Flexibly linking software and mechanical solutions it is possible to build robot system that can be easily modified and its parts can be reused. The course covers robots architectures and methods how to use different logics, mathematical formalisms and algorithms for planning. Significant attention will be paid to swarm intelligence solutions.. The course practical part is organized as classroom courses where students will develop computer programs in the Microsoft Robotics Studio environment to solve problems covered in theoretical lectures.. |
