Contextual Robotics

2021/2022

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Objective:

An advanced robotic system will always be integrated into a particular context. The focus of this semester is to expose the students to different contexts and hereby encourage a more holistic mindset. This project will teach the student to select relevant state-of-the-art methods from the field of contextual robotics and synthesize them in a new context to produce new knowledge and solutions.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Must have knowledge about the terminology within contextual robotics
  • Must be able to understand the notion of innovation and how it relates to contextual robotics

Skills

  • Must have a solid overview over research within selected subfields of contextual robotics and be able to critically analyze the subfield
  • Must be able to analyze a problem and (if possible) suggest a solution that uses relevant theories and methods from contextual robotics
  • Must be able to analyze a contextual robotic system and identify relevant constraints and assessment criteria
  • Must be able to evaluate a contextual robotic system (or parts hereof) with respect to the aforementioned assessment criteria

Competences

  • Must be able to communicate the above knowledge and skills (using proper terminology) both orally and in a written report
  • Must be able to select relevant state-of-the-art methods from the field of contextual robotics and synthesize them in a new context to produce new knowledge and solutions
  • Be able to independently define and analyse scientific and engineering problems in the area defined by the project theme, also in cooperation with external/internal partners or as part of a multidisciplinary projects
  • Be able to control the working and development process within the project theme
