Introduction to Mobile Robotics - SS 2011

Introduction to Mobile Robotics (engl.) - Autonomous Mobile Systems

This course will introduce basic concepts and techniques used within the field of mobile robotics. We analyze the fundamental challenges for autonomous intelligent systems and present the state of the art solutions. Among other topics, we will discuss:
  • Sensors,
  • Kinematics,
  • Path planning,
  • Vehicle localization,
  • Map building,
  • SLAM,
  • Exploration of unknown terrain



Exercises

Solving and submitting the exercise sheets is recommended but not mandatory to be admitted to the final exam. There are no bonus points.

The exercises should be solved in groups of two students. In general, assignments will be published on Wednesday and have to be submitted the following Tuesday before class. Submit programming exercises via email to mobilerobotics@informatik.uni-freiburg.de.
