Exercises: 1-09 12:15-12:45

The motto of the course is "Understanding by Doing".

Practical exercises are an important part of the course.

Lectures and exercises will provide basic knowledge on:

. Motion control, kinematics.

. Sensors, perception, data fusion, image processing.

. World model, navigation.

. Behavior control and planning

Exercises are based on the simulation environment SimSpark for robotic

soccer with humanoid robots "Nao" as used in the international RoboCup competitions. The JAVA based "RoboNewbie" framework provides a fast and easy start for programming own robot controls.
