| THE GOAL OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL, METHODOLOGICAL, AND DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF INTELLIGENT ROBOTS CAPABLE OF MOVING AUTONOMOUSLY IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS. IN PARTICULAR, THE COURSE FOCUSES ON ASPECTS RELATED TO MAP REPRESENTATION, MAP BUILDING, ROBOT LOCALIZATION, NAVIGATION AND OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE ALGORITHMS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE COURSE PRESENTS THE METHODOLOGIES TO ALLOW THE AUTONOMOUS MOVEMENT OF THE ROBOT IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS, WHERE THE MAP AND THE ELEMENTS PRESENT WITHIN THE SCENE (FOR INSTANCE THE OBSTACLES) AND THE RELATED POSITION ARE NOT KNOWN A PRIORI. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS TO INTELLIGENT ROBOT PROBLEMS, BY CHOOSING AND APPLYING THE APPROPRIATE METHODS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE, AND THE SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENTS SPECIFICALLY DEVISED FOR COGNITIVE ROBOTICS. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THE COURSE, THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE C AND PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE IS REQUIRED. |

|---|---|
| THE COURSE CONTAINS THEORETICAL LECTURES, IN-CLASS EXERCITATIONS AND PRACTICAL LABORATORY EXERCITATIONS. DURING THE IN-CLASS EXERCITATIONS THE STUDENTS ARE DIVIDED IN TEAMS AND ARE ASSIGNED SOME PROJECT-WORKS TO BE DEVELOPED ALONG THE DURATION OF THE COURSE. THE PROJECTS INCLUDE ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE AND IS ESSENTIAL BOTH FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE RELATIVE ABILITIES AND COMPETENCES, AND FOR DEVELOPING AND REINFORCING THE ABILITY TO WORK IN A TEAM. IN THE LABORATORY EXERCITATIONS THE STUDENTS IMPLEMENT THE ASSIGNED PROJECTS USING ROS. IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE TO THE FINAL ASSESSMENT AND TO GAIN THE CREDITS CORRESPONDING TO THE COURSE, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE HOURS OF ASSISTED TEACHING ACTIVITIES. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM TEST IS AIMED AT ASSESSING AS A WHOLE: THE KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE; THE ABILITY TO APPLY SUCH KNOWLEDGE TO SOLVE PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRE THE USE OF AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC NAVIGATION TECHNIQUES; INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT, COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND THE ABILITY TO LEARN. STUDENTS, DIVIDED INTO TEAMS, MUST DESIGN AND CREATE THE SOFTWARE FOR A MOBILE ROBOTICS APPLICATION. THE PROJECT AND METHODOLOGICAL CHOICES MADE ARE THE OBJECT OF EVALUATION, TOGETHER WITH THE RESULT OBTAINED BY THE TEAM DURING THE DISCUSSION OF THE PROJECT. THE FINAL TEST IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PHASES: THE FIRST CONSISTS OF A DEMONSTRATION AND A DISCUSSION OF THE COMPLETED PROJECT. A SECOND PHASE INCLUDES A WRITTEN TEST RELATING TO ALL THE TOPICS COVERED DURING THE COURSE. THE PURPOSE IS TO ASSESS THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY, THE ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE, INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT AND THE ABILITY TO WORK IN A GROUP. IN THE FINAL ASSESSMENT, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS, THE EVALUATION OF THE PROJECT AND THE RELATED DISCUSSION WILL WEIGH FOR 50%, THE WRITTEN EXAM WILL WEIGH FOR THE REMAINING 50%. PRAISE MAY BE AWARDED TO STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED INDEPENDENTLY EVEN IN CONTEXTS DIFFERENT THAN THOSE PROPOSED IN THE COURSE |
