| 151-0073-11L | Geranos  Prerequisite: Enrollment for 151-0073-10L Geranos in HS21. | 14 credits | 15A | R. Siegwart | |
| Abstract | Students develop and build a product from A-Z! They work in teams and independently, learn to structure problems, to identify solutions, system analysis and simulations, as well as presentation and documentation techniques. They build the product with access to a machine shop and state of the art engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, etc). | ||||
| Learning objective | The various objectives of the Focus Project are: - Synthesizing and deepening the theoretical knowledge from the basic courses of the 1. - 4. semester - Team organization, work in teams, increase of interpersonal skills - Independence, initiative, independent learning of new topic contents - Problem structuring, solution identification in indistinct problem definitions, searches of information - System description and simulation - Presentation methods, writing of a document - Ability to make decisions, implementation skills - Workshop and industrial contacts - Learning and recess of special knowledge - Control of most modern engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, CAD, CAE, PDM) | ||||
| 151-0073-21L | AITHON Prerequisite: Enrollment for 151-0073-20L AITHON in HS21. | 14 credits | 15A | R. Siegwart | |

| 151-0854-00L | Autonomous Mobile Robots  | 5 credits | 4G | R. Siegwart, M. Chli, N. Lawrance | |
| Abstract | The objective of this course is to provide the basics required to develop autonomous mobile robots and systems. Main emphasis is put on mobile robot locomotion and kinematics, environment perception, and probabilistic environment modeling, localization, mapping and navigation. Theory will be deepened by exercises with small mobile robots and discussed across application examples. | ||||
| Learning objective | The objective of this course is to provide the basics required to develop autonomous mobile robots and systems. Main emphasis is put on mobile robot locomotion and kinematics, environment perception, and probabilistic environment modeling, localization, mapping and navigation. | ||||
| Lecture notes | This lecture is enhanced by around 30 small videos introducing the core topics, and multiple-choice questions for continuous self-evaluation. It is developed along the TORQUE (Tiny, Open-with-Restrictions courses focused on QUality and Effectiveness) concept, which is ETH's response to the popular MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) concept. | ||||
| Literature | This lecture is based on the Textbook: Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots Roland Siegwart, Illah Nourbakhsh, Davide Scaramuzza, The MIT Press, Second Edition 2011, ISBN: 978-0262015356 | ||||
| 401-5860-00L | Seminar in Robotics for CSE | 4 credits | 2S | E. Konukoglu, R. Siegwart | |
| Abstract | This course provides an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the advanced topics of robotics and mechatronics research. The seminar consists of a literature study, including a report and a presentation. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students are familiar with the challenges of the fascinating and interdisciplinary field of Robotics and Mechatronics. They are introduced in the basics of independent non-experimental scientific research and are able to summarize and to present the results efficiently. | ||||
| Content | This 4 ECTS course requires each student to discuss a study plan with the lecturer and select minimum 10 relevant scientific publications to read through. At the end of semester, the results should be presented in an oral presentation and summarized in a report. | ||||
