Humanoid Robotics Laboratory

Content

In this practical course, a topic is worked on alone or in small teams with up to 3 students. Questions of humanoid robotics are dealt with, such as semantic scene interpretation, active perception, planning of grasping and manipulation tasks, action representation with motion primitives, and programming by demonstration.


The project work (alone or in groups) is performed largely independently but supported by scientific staff of the H2T. At the end of the practical course, the work has to be documented and presented in a scientific talk.

Learning Objectives:

  • Students will be able to independently understand, structure, analyze, and solve a complex humanoid robotics problem using existing programming skills, alone or in a small team.
  • Students can convey complex technical content in a presentation.

Recommendation:

  • Very good programming skills in at least one high-level programming language are strongly recommended.
  • Attendance of the lectures Robotics 1, Robotics 2, Robotics 3, as well as the robotics practical course are recommended.
  • Project-specific recommendations (knowledge of C++, Python, ...) will be announced in the individual project descriptions

The assessment is carried out as an oral examination (§ 4 Abs. 2 No. 2 SPO).
The module grade is the grade of the oral examination.

Program of Study: The internship is aimed at students of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Master Mechatronics and Information Technology and all those interested in robotics.

Workload:
6 LP corresponds to approx. 180h, of which

  1. 10h attendance in practical course discussions
  2. 10h preparation and follow-up work
  3. 150 hours of self-study to work on the topic
  4. approx. 10h preparation and holding of a scientific presentation
