About the subject
Intelligent systems and robotics
Teacher : doc. Dr. Ing. Ján Vaščák
Introduction and overview of the field of mobile robotics and its description with intelligent control and conversation systems in the context of IoT. Basic UI resources need robot control and decision making. Overview of ubiquitous robotics, robot sensors, communication.
Description
The graduate of the course will gain an introductory overview of the field of mobile robotics and its connection with intelligent control and decision systems in the context of the Internet of Things. To this end, he will be acquainted with the basic means of artificial intelligence (fuzzy systems, neural networks, optimization methods and machine learning tools) for the needs of control and decision-making of a robot or a group of robots within the concept of multiagent systems. He will get a basic overview of the so-called ubiquitous robotics, including issues of sensors, communication and software of mobile robots, especially robotic middleware and simulation tools as well as basic types of robots. As part of exercises and projects, he will gain experience in the program design of simple robotic applications for the needs of localization, navigation,
