Block course after lecture period: 29.8. - 17.9.22

First organizational meeting: 08.7.22 12:00 ct, Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 8, Room 0.016

Start of the work period: 29.8.22.

Cognitive robotics is an active research area at the border between artificial intelligence and robotics.

It investigates and tries to implement in technical systems mental functions, which are associated with intelligence.
This covers the perception of the environment, action planning, and learning.

In this block course, the students will implement algorithms for the control of our cognitive robots or the interpretation of their surroundings. The algorithms will focus on solving actual tasks on one of our robot platforms or smart edge sensors.

Various potential platforms for the lab.

               

The students will work in small groups.

The lab is a good preparation for writing a Master's thesis in the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group.

Prerequisites

- Good programming skills in C/C++/Python or some other object-oriented programming language.

- Knowledge in robotics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning is helpful.
