No participant requirements

Professional competences
The students learn:

• programming of robots (mobile or stationary)
• implementation of elementary operations
• integration of operations into a small application scenario
• programming using Robot Operating System (ROS)

Methodological competences
The students learn:

• systematic development process with team members
• systematic evaluation of the application
• designing a robotic application using basic and advanced robotic concepts

Social competences
The students learn:

• project management
• team work
• organization of the team

Self-competences
The students:

• time management
• autodidactic work (literature search, technical specs, related work)

Robotic systems will be provided to the students. They will then define the project/application scenario of the robots by their own and complete the project as a small team with self-organization and work distribution among the team members. The module consists of a lecture and an exercise part: Lecture: 2-3 lectures for introduction onto the module and introduction into the Robot Operating System (ROS) as well as the concepts of the projects. Exercises: After the introduction period, the students will work self-organized to complete the proposed project. Work can be distributed weekly or on as concentrated time blocks.
