10.    Course Goals (acquired competencies):  The students will be introduced to the challenges concerning the modeling and control of mobile robots. Upon course completion, the students will be capable of implementing environment interpretation, data processing, mapping, and control algorithms in mobile robotics.

11.    Course Syllabus: Introduction and motivation. Locomotion systems. Basic concepts of robot mobility. Sensors and actuators in mobile robots. Kinematics and dynamics of mobile robots – land vehicles. Kinematics and dynamics of mobile robots – aerial vehicles. Control of mobile robots. Localization, perception, SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping.
12.    Learning methods:  Combined: presentations, homework, project assignments, practical laboratory work.

19.    Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Regular attendance at classes and completion of the laboratory work assignments.
20.  Forms of assessment wo partial written exams are envisaged during the semester (at the middle and the end of the semester, each with a duration of 120 minutes), as well as a mandatory project that the students are supposed to finish and present during the semester.
1. The students who have passed the partial exams and have successfully finished and presented the project, are considered to have passed the course. The presentation of the project is with duration not longer than 60 minutes. The final grade is formed based on the points from the partial exams and the points obtained from the project.
2. In the planned exam sessions a final written exam is taken (duration 120 minutes). The students who have passed the final written exam, and have finished and presented the mandatory project previously during the semester, are considered to have passed the course. The final grade is formed based on the points from the exams, and the points acquired from the project
