Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Objective:

The goal of this course is to provide the foundations necessary to perform research within the field of robotics. The course takes a practical approach and focuses on the craftsmanship needed as a scientist. Students explore state of the art theories and techniques in a formalized manner by analyzing a selection of research texts fundamental to robotics through, e.g., paper presentation, reproduction of experiments, etc.
