Presentation Transcript


  1. Robotics Track • background in sensing and control • How do analog and digital circuits work, how do sensors work and how can we understand, analyze and compute with digital and analog signals. • Helps you understand how robots and home automation systems work • Application domains: • Smart home automation • Assistive robotics • Social Robotics • other domains like ‘game experience’ use sensing and control as well

  2. Assistive Robotics • KSERA project with NAO Robot • See http://www.ksera-project.eu/ for some interesting movie clips • Naoshould react to non-verbal cues • track faces, divert its gaze towards a moving object and track moving objects • Nao should be able to avoid obstacles • How to approach a human in the most natural way?

  3. Social robotics • Persuasive avatars • Mimicry (tracking head movements): you will like and trust an avatar more if it mimics your movements

  4. Game Experience • Measuring game experience using sensors • Linking behavior withsubjective measures

  5. Required electives • 1.3: 4CA00 Signals Basic understanding of the mathematical principles behind analog and digital signals. • 2.1 5EIA0Computation 1Basic understanding of digital electronics, how does a computer work, • hardware versus software

  6. Required Electives • 2.2 5XCA0Fundamental of electronicsBasic understanding of analog electronics • 2.4 Sensing computing and automationBasic understanding of sensors / actuators and how these can be used in controlsystems

  7. Examples of additional electives • USE line Robotics • Several EE courses: Computation II, Control systems • OGO Venus Exploration (EE) During this OGO you will be working in a team to design and build a system that is used to explore the planet Venus. You will develop robots equipped with sensors and actuators which drive over the surface of the planet. These robots need to cooperate with each other to complete several challenging tasks. For this purpose you will design your own wireless communication system. • OGO Robot Arm (Mech. En.)
