Upon successful completion of the course, the student:

Knowledge

• has advanced knowledge within a sub-area of robotics and control.
• has knowledge about the process of planning and conducting a project.

Skills

• can apply the theoretical knowledge and research-based methodologies into a practical problem.
• can propose a detailed project plan.
• can write a scientific report.

General competence

• can analyze, present and debate specific research subjects in light of the theoretical and practical approaches.
• can discuss the subject both at expert and non-expert levels.

The first part of the course is organised into a series of lectures and seminars. Students are expected to play an active role. Lectures are given by the course lecturer and invited lecturers. Students will also be required to present papers, and discuss course themes during lectures and seminars.
