Learning Outcomes of this subject are:
RA.1 Broad view on the advances in different areas of robotics
RA.2 Ability to research, synthetize and present work
RA.3 Experience working in academic projects as part of the faculty research groups (GTM)
RA.4 Exposure to the working opportunities within the academic and industrial areas
Given the nature of the course, it is not organized based on fixed topics. On the contrary, the different themes touched in the course depend on the students interests, availability of invited speakers from industry and academia, and research projects availability in the GTMs group.
The methodology of the course is based on short research works (state-of-the-art) on the advances in robotics prepared by the students which will be presented in class through short oral presentations.
The course covers two types of presentations:
Internal: students investigate and present in class their own findings
External: invited speakers from the industrial and academic sector present current or recent past work within
the robotics field
Moreover, the students will develop a module of an existing research project within the GTM group. The investigator in charge of the project will explain the challenge to the students and we will guide the students through the development of potential solutions.
The evaluation is divided in a theoretical section (oral presentations) and a practice.
Oral presentations: based on the presentations in class and the participation. The mark is computed as follows:
Presentations score = 40% presentation content + 40% oral presentation + 20% class participation
Practice core = 30% development + 20% report + 50% final presentation
FINAL SCORE = 50% presentations + 50% practice
