Module Title	Intelligent Robotics
School	School of Computer Science

Level	3/H
Member of Staff	Mohan Sridharan
Semester	Semester 1 - 20 credits
Delivery	Approximately 18 lectures and 24 laboratory sessions Contact Hours: 42
Description	Artificial Intelligence is concerned with mechanisms for generating intelligent behaviour. When this behaviour occurs in the everyday physical world, with its uncertainty and rapid change, we find that all kinds of new problems and opportunities arise. We will try to understand some of these in the context of robotics. In a series of lectures we will look at some theories of how to sense the real world, and act intelligently in it. In a series of labs you will build your own robots to see how well (or badly) these theories actually work.
Outcomes	On successful completion of this module, the student should be able to: design, build and program simple autonomous robots implement standard signal processing and control algorithms describe and analyse robot processes using appropriate methods write a detailed report on a robot project carry out and write up investigations using appropriate experimental methods
Assessment	Sessional: continuous assessment (100%). Supplementary (where allowed). The continuous assessment consists of a writeup and demonstration of an autonomous robot project designed and constructed by each team.
