Cours

Aerial robotics

The course provides an introduction to the design, control, and applications of aerial robots. Students will be able to translate theoretical concepts into practice by means of hands-on exercises with simulated drones.

Evolutionary robotics

Le cours présente les théories, méthodes et technologies pour la création de systèmes software et hardware inspirés de l'évolution naturelle. Il montre également comment les systèmes artificiels peuvent aider à comprendre les systèmes biologiques.

Robotics practicals

L'objectif de cette série de travaux pratiques est d'appliquer les différents cadres théoriques acquis dans les cours sur une variété de robots, allant des robots industriels aux robots mobiles autonomes, en passant par les dispositifs robotiques, jusqu'a...
