Courses

Designing activities for developing and assessing computational thinking skills

In this course, students will learn how to design, realize, analyse and assess educational activities in formal education, with and without the use of technologies, for the development of computational thinking, based on the state of the Art of researcj in this topic.

Embedded Systems and Robotics

This course deals with the programming of embedded systems: cross-compilation, the use of FPU in microcontrollers, the use of DSP instructions and the mechanisms available in a Real-time Operating System. The whole is implemented in a robotic context.

Basics of mobile robotics

The course teaches the basics of autonomous mobile robots. Both hardware (energy, locomotion, sensors) and software (signal processing, control, localization, trajectory planning, high-level control) will be tackled. The students will apply the knowledge to program and control a real mobile robot.

Robotics practicals

The goal of this lab series is to practice the various theoretical frameworks acquired in the courses on a variety of robots, ranging from industrial robots to autonomous mobile robots, to robotic devices, all the way to interactive robots.
