AbstractThis course is a hands-on laboratory course in which participants program Thymio II robot that will play in a competition. Students will learn software engineering skills and robotics concepts and apply them in practice.
Objective- Knowledge of basic software engineering principles and methods
- Knowledge of how software engineering applies to robotics
- Knowledge of the most common architectures, coordination and synchronization methods
- Experience in design of a small robotics system with aspects of sensing, planning and control
Content- Software engineering tools
- Design patterns
- Software architecture
- ROS and Roboscoop
- Perception
- Mapping and localization
- Path planning and obstacle avoidance

Students will program Thymio II educational robot with a Carmine 1.09 RGBD camera as the sensor.
Prerequisites / NoticeCombination of lectures and a semester-long project.

Prior programming experience required. Object-oriented programming (especially Eiffel and C++) strongly recommended. Experience with Linux helpful.

Limited to 18 students.
- Expected to work both individually and in teams of 2-3 students
