Course Content
The course is mainly a practical one, with the exception of some lectures devoted to the introduction to ROS (Robotics Operating System), nowdays more and more used in the development of robotic systems.

Learning Objectives
The goal of the course is to invite the pupils to accept the challenge of a practical problem in field robotics. Single pupils or teams of two pupils shall design and implement a subsystem of a robot normally devoted to operate in the open field (water, air, earth) or in confined areas (buildings and/or civil infrastructures).
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the fundamentals of robotics is desired: kinematics, dynamics, trajectory planning of free motion, sensors and actuators, decentralized and centralized control techniques
Teaching Methods
At the beginning of the course the lecturer will propose to the class a list of possible project works, supplying, for each of the project works the final goals and the operational context. The pupils and groups of two pupils will have some weeks to decide about their choice. Meanwhile, the ROS mini course will be given.
Type of Assessment
The exam is passed upon delivery of a written report which demonstrates sufficient achievement of the project work goals.
