Course Overview
1st Part I – Mobile Robotics; automated systems; Robot Operating System
week
Part II – Machine learning; Perception systems; Inference; Deep Learning
2nd w. Part III – Practical (hands-on) and Lab activities; Use-cases; Teamwork;

Aim
The aim is for the students (bachelors, master or early-PhD) to understand the fundamentals (both theory and
practical) of Mobile Robotics, Automated Systems, and Machine Learning and their applications to real-world
engineering problems. The programme is divided in two modules: (i) Hardware and software for mobile robotics;
and (ii) Applied machine learning.

Course info
ECTS = 3, approx. 81 hs
Assessment:
1. a short report related to the activities/projects developed throughout the Course (no more than 8 pages);
2. Markings/grades.
• The classification/scores will be attributed on a qualitative scale with 4 levels of approval (according to the non-degree
courses practices): “Approved, Approved With Honors, Approved With Great Honors, Approved With Highest Honors”.
