Course history

Introduction

This course provides a hands-on experience with the application of novel theories and methods into a specific system in robotics and control. The application topic will be tightly connected to on-going research projects and the relevant laboratories at OsloMet. The topic will be announced one semester prior to the start of the course.

The course comprises of a review of the research challenge, lectures on state-of-the-art theories and methods used in the design of the specific application, practical aspects for the development work. The project work will be in real or virtual laboratory environment. Students will get a holistic perspective on research and development work and hands-on experience with the cutting-edge technologies.

Recommended preliminary courses

Teaching and learning methods

The course uses varied, student-active work methods. The course uses a blended learning approach that combines digital learning resources (e.g. videos, lectures and knowledge tests) and teaching on campus. There will be four weeks with teaching on campus, with three teaching day each week. Students will also have a one-day observation internship at a relevant workplace. Students must schedule this themselves based on a list of available institutions and organisations.

The students will choose the topic of their written assignment in the beginning of the course, and work with this in groups or indivudually. The assignment is presented to the other students as an oral presentation.

The students are also given access to a pool of revision questions they can use in order to practice different course topics which can be used as revision questions for the oral examination.

Course requirements

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the examination:

  • A written assignment of up to 3,000 words (individually or in groups of two to three students)
  • Oral presentation of the assignment in a plenary session
  • A reflection note of up to 1,000 words, and a oral presentation from the one-day observation internship at a relevant workplace

Assessment

The exam is an individual written report of 4000-6000 words, excluding the front page and reference list.

The exam must be written in either English or a Scandinavian language.

The exam can be appealed.

New/postponed exam:

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

A student who fails or has legal absence in the ordinary exam, may submit a reworked version at a re-sit.
