Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Purpose:
Students who complete the module should be able to apply development robotic tools, programming languages and SW-environments for solving previously specified tasks in robotics.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Must have understanding of integrated development environments
  • Must have understanding of differences between run-time and compile-time computer programming languages
