ACIT4820 Applied Robotics and Autonomous Systems Emneplan

This course covers the use of scripting as a programming paradigm to solve challenges like system automation and integration as well as data analysis. Focus is on understanding how scripting combined with utility libraries can be helpful in solving a task. Scripts can vary in length and complexity, but are normally written in a high-level language that focuses on ease of expression and readability as well as a powerful set of libraries for integrating with other systems. Scripts can be written as a mean to create tools that eases scientific work or automates tasks. However, they can also be used to make systems interact that would normally not. In most automated workflows, there are several scripts acting as the glue between otherwise incompatible systems.

Knowledge of linear algebra, vector calculus and basic statistics and probability.

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

A student who has completed this course should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

On successful completion of this course the student

• has thorough knowledge of diversity among users, equipment and user situations
• has thorough knowledge of demography and age structure of society, trends and tendencies and their implications for universal design of ICT
• has thorough knowledge of sensory, motor and cognitive disabilities
• has thorough knowledge of the concept of disability and the Gap model
• has advanced knowledge of disabling barriers in ICT solutions
• has advanced knowledge about universal design and accessibility
• has thorough knowledge about accommodation, assistive technology and welfare technology
• has advanced knowledge of relevant laws, policies and standards

Skills

On successful completion of this course the student

• can analyse and deal critically with different user requirements, and apply these to structure and formulate arguments regarding accessibility, accommodation, and universal design of ICT
• can analyse contradictions within/between universal design, accessibility and accommodation in different situations

General competence

On successful completion of this course the student

• can identify disabling barriers of ICT solutions based on the Gap model
• can carry out independent study and master dedicated terminology related to user diversity, impairment, disability and universal design
• can communicate scientific problems, analysis and conclusions in ICT and user diversity, impairment, disability and universal design to both specialists in health care and the general public

This course is divided into two parts. The first part with focus on covering the principles of Statistical Learning. Different seminars will be given on the different methodological aspects of Statistical learning, mainly, supervised learning and unsupervised learning.

The second part will focus on the students completing a programming project. This is a real data analysis problem, where the student is asked to carry out the analysis using the tools and techniques from the course and hand in a report documenting the steps he has taken in the analysis. The ultimate goal is to build a predictive model.

The project report will consist of at least 25 pages and max 60 pages.

During this part, there may be lectures if needed, but most of the time will be spent on individual supervision of students in lab-sessions.

Practical training

Lab sessions.

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

• Four compulsory group assignments.

Etter fullført emne har studenten følgende læringsutbytte definert som kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Kunnskap

Studenten

• har utvidet didaktisk kunnskap om hvordan de kan legge til rette for leke- læring- og utforskningsprosesser i ulike læringsarenaer
• har utvidet kunnskap om fysiske fenomen, biologisk mangfold og bærekraftig utvikling
• har kunnskap om hvordan barn lærer om verden og forstår seg selv gjennom kropp og sanser
• har fordypet kunnskap om bruk av dokumentasjon i synliggjøring av barnehagens pedagogiske arbeid
• har økt kunnskap om veiledningsmetoder

Ferdigheter

Studenten

• kan gjennom godt samspill, utnytte spontane læringssituasjoner og planlegge, lede og evaluere formelle læringssituasjoner
• kan gjennomføre måltider i ulike kontekster og ivareta måltidet som pedagogisk arena
• kan tilrettelegge for de barns kroppslige lek i ulike kontekster og situasjoner
• kan reflektere rundt ulike forståelser av natur, friluftsliv, kosthold og helse, og gjennom dette legge til rette for inkludering og deltakelse for alle barn
• kan bruke dokumentasjon knyttet til barns lek, samt reflektere kritisk rundt bruk av dette
• kan veilede i gruppe med fokus på en til en veiledning

Generell kompetanse

Studenten

• kan reflektere rundt sammenhenger mellom mat og kosthold, naturopplevelser, fysisk aktivitet, helse og bærekraftig utvikling
• kan utnytte og se muligheter for kroppslig lek på utelekeplassen for alle barn
• kan bruke barns undring og utforskning samt naturopplevelse til arbeid med språkutvikling
• har en begynnende forståelse for hvordan barns motorikk kan observeres og testes
• kan gjøre etiske vurderinger knyttet til dokumentasjon av barn og barns lek

• Individual project report (5000-6000 words). The project examination counts 70% of the final grade.
• Individual oral examination (20 minutes for each candidate). The oral examination counts 30% 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.

Two internal examiners. External examiner is used periodically.

The course is equivalent to previous courses MAUU4200 and MAUUD4200.

Attempts made in equivalent courses will count towards the limit of 3 exam-attempts per course.
