Cours
Basics of mobile robotics
MICRO-452
Ce cours donne les bases nécessaires au développement de robots mobiles autonomes. Autant les aspects matériels que les aspects logiciels seront abordés. Les étudiants appliqueront leurs connaissances pour la programmation et le contrôle d'un robot mobile réel.
Robotics practicals
MICRO-453
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'aux robots interactifs.
Systèmes embarqués et robotique
MICRO-315
Ce cours aborde la programmation de systèmes embarqués: la cross-compilation, l'utilisation d'une FPU dans des microcontrôleurs, l'utilisation d'instructions DSP et les mécanismes à disposition dans le cadre d'un Real-time Operating System. Le tout est mis en oeuvre dnas un contexte robotique.
