Forms of Teaching
Lectures
Lectures are organized in two cycles.
Laboratory WorkStudents work five laboratory exercises (LE) on LEGO mobile robots - each LV lasts three hours : • LE1: Odometry calibration of a mobile robot • LE2: Occupancy grid map building by applying Bayes rule • LE3: Mobile robot localization by Kalman filter and sonars • LE4: Path planning of a mobile robot • LE5: Path following and obstacle avoidance
