Course "Robotica"


Intention

The intention is to teach you how to represent aspects of physical, geometrical reality (specifically motion of objects), in the computer, how do you use standard search algorithms to plan motions, and then how do you then get those planned motions back into reality as real motions. All this is illustrated throughout by examples from robotics. It give an impression of the specialization `Autonomous Systems'.

The course consists of lectures followed by an exam, and of a lab course followed by demonstration of what you have done; the grades for these form the final grade, in a ratio 2:1 (so =2/3+1/3).

Contents

We use lecture notes, available from the Dikatenverkoop (check the opening times, they are weird). Try yo get the lab manual at the same time!

Where and when

All events take place in the Euclides building, Plantage Muidergracht 24.
The lectures are given in the 3rd trimester, in P227, Fridays 9:15-11:00.
The lab course is on Thursday afternoons, 12:30-16:30, P126.

Lab Course

The lab course is programming a chess-playing robot, with exercises in path planning and kinematics. It is done in groups on two students. The manual is available at the home page for the lab course, which is http://science.uva.nl/~mtjspaan/practicum/index_en.html.

The lab assistents are Matthijs Spaan mtjspaan@science.uva.nl and TBA tba@science.uva.nl. You should register with Matthijs. If you do not yet have an account at the UvA, please request one from support@science.uva.nl.

THE LAB COURSE STARTS APRIL 17, 2003, 13:00 IN P1.26 (IN EUCLIDES, Plantage Muidergracht 24). It would be efficient if you find a practicum partner before that time and mail Matthijs your choice, then we can start immediately.
