Courses

Machine learning programming

This is a practice-based course, where students program algorithms in machine learning and evaluate the performance of the algorithm thoroughly using real-world dataset.

Robotics practicals

The practicals can include the following topics:
  • Teaching Robots to Accomplish a Manipulation Task
  • Experimenting with haptic interfaces
  • Controlling a serial robot ABB IRB 120
  • Control of the Micro Delta Direct Drive robot
  • LiniX, linear axis, assembly and control

Learning and adaptive control for robots

To cope with constant and unexpected changes in their environment, robots need to adapt their paths rapidly and appropriately without endangering humans. this course presents method to react within millisecunds.
