ELVE3610 Introduction to Robotics Course description

The elective course is initiated provided that a sufficient number of students choose the course.

Part 1 will be reviewed and graded by internal examiners.

Part 2 will be reviewed and graded by internal and external examiners.

Part 3 will be reviewed and graded by internal examiners.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student will learn about:

• Use of robots in industry and research
• Calculation and analysis of robot movement
• Programming and control of different robot types
• Common sensors, actuators and control electronics in robotics
• Physical prototyping and building of robots

Skills

The student is capable of:

• Programming and verification of solutions on a real robot
• Choose relevant sensors and actuators for a robot system
• Processing simple sensor data

General competence

The student:

• Understand the basic principles needed to design and build robots
• Discuss and justify own choices and priorities within the robotics field
• Develop robot systems from the planning phase to prototype testing

Classroom teaching combined with group work, laboratory work and guest lectures.

The following coursework is a part of the portfolio and therefore needs to be approved to pass the exam:

• 4 lab exercises in groups of 2-4 students
• 4 assignments given during the semester

The exam is a portfolio exam consisting of the following:

• Results of four assignments given out during the semester
• Reports from lab exercises
• Project report prepared in groups of 2-4 students. The report should be approximately 20-30 pages, including content list and reference list
• Video presentation of the project

Each student's work will be assessed together as a portfolio with one individual grade at the end of the semester, but all parts that make up the portfolio must be assessed as 'pass' in order for the student to pass the course.

The exam can be appealed. If a student fails the portfolio assessment, they will be given one opportunity to resubmit the portfolio.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.

The exam consists of three parts:

Part 1: Aesthetic production in group for children and young people with special needs.

Part 2: Individual reflection paper on the aesthetic production (approx. 3,000 words).

Part 3: Individual autobiographical and multimodal (for instance a film) project where the student documents and reflects on his/|her process of making an aesthetic production for children/young people with special needs (maximum 3,000 words or a film of maximum 15 minutes).

Resit or rescheduled exams

If a student fails the exam or is absent at the time of the exam for a valid reason, the student is entitled to resit the exam the following semester. The resit exam will be organised in the same manner as the ordinary exam, but the group exam will be individual. The regulations on resit and rescheduled exams are set out in the Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet. Students must register for a resit or rescheduled exam.

All exam aids are permitted. However, sources must be stated in accordance with the applicable rules for source references.

Part 1 will be evaluated as pass/fail.

Part 2 and 3 will be evaluated according to the ECTS grading scale, with A-E as pass grades and F as a fail grade. The criteria for the different grades will be presented to the students at the beginning of the course.

Part 2 accounts for 60% of the overall grade and part 3 for 40%.

The completion of the three parts will result in one final overall grade (A- F).
