Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

General objectives The course presents the basic methods for achieving mobility and autonomy in robots. Specific objectives Knowledge and understanding: Students will learn (1) basic methods for the modeling, analysis and control of mobile robots, both wheeled and legged, and (2) fundamental algorithms for autonomous motion planning. Apply knowledge and understanding: Students will be able to analyze and design architectures, algorithms and modules for planning, control and localization of autonomous mobile robots. Critical and judgment skills: Students will be able to choose the most suitable functional control architecture for a specific robotic system and to analyze its complexity as well as possible weaknesses. Communication skills: The course activities will allow students to be able to communicate/share the main problems concerning autonomous mobile robots, as well as the possible design choices for the control of such systems. Learning ability: The course development aim at giving the student a mindset oriented to the development of modules for the autonomous mobility of robots.
