Robotics - CMS3502

Assessment 1: Other

Formative assessment will be via tutorial/practical exercises designed to guide the students’ learning, and to prepare them for the summative assessment.

Other

Assessment 1: Written Assignment

This report will assess the student’s knowledge and understanding of the technologies studied to given organisational scenarios. For example, students may be asked to report on the benefits and implications of swarm robotics.

Written Assignment

Assessment 2: Written Assignment

This assignment will involve the design and development of a robotic based system using specified simulation software. The students will be required to defend their chosen design and methods of invocation within a written summary of how the system was designed and implemented.

<p>The Robotics module allows you to gain specialist knowledge in robotic devices and autonomous applications by examining the integration of mechanical devices, sensors and ‘intelligent’ computerised robotic agents. You will also explore the latest developments in robotics and intelligent systems through a series of investigative tasks and practical sessions. The module covers essential techniques for the design and development of robotic based systems using a collection of robotic hardware and simulation software. It supports the discussion and analysis of the hardware and software used to build real-world robotic systems. It introduces device and architectural specific topics required to enable students to design and develop software for intelligent autonomous robots. This will include low-level programming of I/O devices for robotic swarms, sensor systems and active modelling and simulation. It will introduce planning for intelligent robots taking a lifecycle approach from theory to activation.</p>
