ACIT4820 Applied Robotics and Autonomous Systems Course description

After completing INTER1100, the students should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student can

• explain the process of growing up in a society characterised by social and cultural diversity

Skills

The student can

• cooperate with students from other programmes of professional study about relevant challenges in the everyday lives of children and adolescents
• discuss and reflect on their own future professional role in interprofessional cooperation with children, adolescents and their parents/guardians.

General competence

The student

• has an understanding of interprofessional cooperation with children, adolescents and their families

For the final assessment a grading scale from A to E is used, where A denotes the highest and E the lowest pass grade, and F denotes a fail.

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.;

The student should have the following outcomes;upon completing the course:;

Knowledge:;

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should:;

• have advanced knowledge on robotic and autonomous systems components and architecture;
• have advanced knowledge in modeling kinematics and dynamics of robotic;systems;
• have advanced knowledge in common sensor and actuator technologies used in robotics;
• have advanced;knowledge of algorithms and methods used in state estimation, navigation, and motion planning
• have a good understanding of the Robot Operating System (ROS) and software architectures used in robotic and autonomous;systems;

Skills:;

Upon successful completion of the course, the student:;

• can analyze a robotic and autonomous systems;with regard to;its components, architecture, and their;purpose;
• can model and analyze kinematic and dynamics of robotic;systems;
• can apply;a number of;algorithms and methods in state estimation,;navigation, and motion planning
• can analyze and implement solutions based on Robot Operating System;(ROS);

General competence:;

Upon successful completion of the course, the student:;

• can discuss the role of robotic and autonomous systems in;a number of;practical;applications;
• can analyze how robotic and autonomous systems operate and design specific components using ROS and other software;tools.;

Master's thesis is specialized individual research work in their field. Phase 3 (MT-3) is dedicated to final analysis and writing the Master's thesis. Prototypes and/or other products that are developed as part of the project can also be part of the final thesis. The Master's thesis will be presented orally.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

Four assignments in groups of 1 - 3 students (1000 - 2000 words per assignment) ;;;;

The assessment will be based on two part-exams:

1);;;; Individual;project;report (4000-6000;words). The project report;counts;80%;of;the;final grade.

2);;;; Individual;project;presentation;(10;minutes). The presentations will be open to public.; The oral;examination;counts;20%;of;the;final grade

Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course.

The oral examination cannot 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 applying 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.

Successful completion of MT-1 (Phase 1) and MT-2 (Phase 2) forms the basis for MT-3. The work is carried out under the guidance of the supervisor appointed at the start of MT-1.

None.

The final assessment will be based on the following four deliveries:

• A written Master thesis (Length 75 pages +/- 15 pages using one of the available document templates).
• Students will also submit a research paper (between 8 and 15 pages)
• Any physical or digital artefact that has been developed by the student as part of the research project
• Individual oral presentation (30 minutes).

The final grade will be based on all four deliveries, with the following weight:

Thesis with artefact: Thesis 70%, Research paper 10%, Artefact 10% and Oral presentation 10%.

Thesis without artefact: Thesis 75%, Research paper 15% and Oral presentation 10%.

If the student wishes to submit an artefact, the mode of submission must be approved by the supervisor beforehand and the artefact must be made available in such a way to be inspected by the examiners. In the case of a physical artefact, video and images may be used to document the properties of it, eliminating the need for a physical inspection.

There will be one grade for the thesis, paper and artefact and one for the oral presentation. The oral presentation cannot be appealed.

All exams must be passed in order to pass the course.

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 applying 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.
